What specific Illinois regulation regarding staffing ratios was Ben Carter researching, and where can I find the memo outlining the newsroom's source handling protocol for Project Nightingale?

Gold answer

Ben Carter was researching 77 Ill. Adm. Code Part 300 (Skilled Nursing and Intermediate Care Facilities Code), specifically Sections 300.230, 300.240, and 300.250. The newsroom's source-handling protocol memo for Project Nightingale is at data/memory/reference/project_nightingale_source_protocol_summary.md (File ID: f024).

**Illinois regulation Ben Carter was researching:** **77 Ill. Adm. Code Part 300 — Skilled Nursing and Intermediate Care Facilities Code**, specifically **Section 300.230 (Resident Care Staff Requirements)** of the Illinois Administrative Code under Title 77 (Public Health). The core staffing-ratio requirements he focused on:

- **300.230(a)** — minimum **1.0 hour of nursing care per resident per day** (RN, LPN, or qualified "geriatric aide")
- **300.230(b)** — shift coverage: RN on duty ≥8 hrs/day, LPN ≥16 hrs/day, and LPN-or-geriatric-aide coverage 24/7
- **300.230(d)** — staffing time-record retention (3 years)

Sister sections 300.240 (care plans) and 300.250 (resident rights) are covered as related context. The underlying statute is the **Nursing Home Care Act (225 ILCS 70/)**, with IDPH as the enforcing agency.

Source file: `agent_memory/source_vetting_s01/2022-02-05_research_IL_staffing_regulations.md` (authored by Ben Carter, Feb 5, 2022).

**Memo outlining the Project Nightingale source-handling protocol:**

`agent_memory/team_planning/2022-04-01_memo_project_source_protocol.md`

It's a memo dated **April 1, 2022** from **Maya Lin** (Lead Investigative Reporter, I-Team) to Citizen Sentinel newsroom leadership, titled *"Addendum to Newsroom Source Handling Protocol: Project Nightingale Specifics"* — an addendum to the base newsroom protocol (referenced as `f1999`). It covers source codename convention (`S-XX`), Signal/Proton Drive communication, in-person meeting rules, digital security, evidence logging, ethical/legal review, and incident response, and includes follow-up replies from Ben Carter and Frank Miller. A condensed version also exists at `agent_memory/memory/reference/project_nightingale_source_protocol_summary.md`.

**Illinois regulation Ben Carter was researching:**
- Primary research for Project Nightingale: **77 Illinois Administrative Code Part 300** (nursing home licensure / staffing), notably § 300.710(a) requiring an RN on duty 8 consecutive hours/day, 7 days/week. Key finding: IL does **not** mandate specific numerical staffing ratios — it uses a qualitative "sufficient staff" standard (mirroring federal 42 CFR § 483.35).
- Separate, later DHS thread (May 2023) for childcare-center ratios: **89 Ill. Adm. Code Part 390, § 390.50** (Staff-to-Child Ratios) — under DCFS, not DHS. (The search snippet says "107 IL Admin Code" but the link `commission/jcar/admincode/089/08900390sections.html` confirms it's Title 89.)

**Source handling protocol memo for Project Nightingale:**
- The project-specific addendum memo: `team_planning/2022-04-01_memo_project_source_protocol.md` (Maya Lin, 2022-04-01) — the actual addendum to the master protocol, covering source designation conventions etc.
- Ben Carter's condensed summary (File ID **f024**, 2022-02-15): `memory/reference/project_nightingale_source_protocol_summary.md`.
- The full master Newsroom Source Handling Protocol it points to: **f1999**, at `internal_wiki/f1999_full_source_protocol.md`.

If you want the memo that *outlines* the Nightingale-specific protocol, it's `team_planning/2022-04-01_memo_project_source_protocol.md`; if you want the standalone condensed guide, it's the f024 summary.
