The General Assembly finds that home medical equipment and services providers in the State of Illinois affect the public health, welfare, and safety, and therefore finds the regulation and control of those providers to be in the public interest. It is further declared that, as a matter of public policy, home medical equipment and services providers should merit the confidence of the public and, to this end, that only qualified entities be permitted to hold themselves out to the public as home medical equipment and services providers. This Act shall be liberally construed to best carry out these findings.
