151151 15 particular facts of the case before him or her, there is a
152152 16 reasonable likelihood of sustained survival of the fetus
153153 17 outside the womb, with or without artificial support, shall

173173 2 (2) (a) No abortion shall be performed or induced when the

176176 5 who shall take control of and provide immediate medical care
177177 6 for any child born alive as a result of the abortion. This
178178 7 requirement shall not apply when, in the medical judgment of
179179 8 the physician performing or inducing the abortion based on the
180180 9 particular facts of the case before him or her, there exists a
181181 10 medical emergency; in such a case, the physician shall
182182 11 describe the basis of this judgment on the form prescribed by

190190 19 shall exercise the same degree of professional skill, care,
191191 20 and diligence to preserve the life and health of the child as
192192 21 would be required of a physician providing immediate medical
193193 22 care to a child born alive in the course of a pregnancy
194194 23 termination which was not an abortion. Any such physician who
195195 24 intentionally, knowingly, or recklessly violates Section
196196 25 6(2)(b) commits a Class 3 felony.

210210 3 Criminal Code of 1961 or Criminal Code of 2012.
211211 4 (4) (a) Any physician who intentionally performs an
212212 5 abortion when, in his or her medical judgment based on the
213213 6 particular facts of the case before him or her, there is a
214214 7 reasonable possibility of sustained survival of the fetus
215215 8 outside the womb, with or without artificial support, shall
216216 9 utilize that method of abortion which, of those he or she knows
217217 10 to be available, is in his or her medical judgment most likely
218218 11 to preserve the life and health of the fetus.
219219 12 (b) The physician shall certify in writing, on a form
220220 13 prescribed by the Department under Section 10, the available
221221 14 methods considered and the reasons for choosing the method
222222 15 employed.
223223 16 (c) Any physician who intentionally, knowingly, or
224224 17 recklessly violates the provisions of Section 6(4)(a) commits
225225 18 a Class 3 felony.
226226 19 (5) Nothing in Section 6 requires a physician to employ a
227227 20 method of abortion which, in the medical judgment of the
228228 21 physician performing the abortion based on the particular
229229 22 facts of the case before him or her, would increase medical
230230 23 risk to the mother.
231231 24 (6) When the fetus is viable and when there exists
232232 25 reasonable medical certainty (a) that the particular method of
233233 26 abortion to be employed will cause organic pain to the fetus,

244244 1 and (b) that use of an anesthetic or analgesic would abolish or
245245 2 alleviate organic pain to the fetus caused by the particular
246246 3 method of abortion to be employed, then the physician who is to
247247 4 perform the abortion or his or her agent or the referring
248248 5 physician or his or her agent shall inform the woman upon whom
249249 6 the abortion is to be performed that such an anesthetic or
250250 7 analgesic is available, if he or she knows it to be available,
251251 8 for use to abolish or alleviate organic pain caused to the
252252 9 fetus by the particular method of abortion to be employed. Any
253253 10 person who performs an abortion with knowledge that any such
254254 11 reasonable medical certainty exists and that such an
255255 12 anesthetic or analgesic is available, and intentionally fails
256256 13 to so inform the woman or to ascertain that the woman has been
257257 14 so informed commits a Class B misdemeanor. The foregoing
258258 15 requirements of this subsection shall not apply (a) when in
259259 16 the medical judgment of the physician who is to perform the
260260 17 abortion or the referring physician based upon the particular
261261 18 facts of the case before him or her (i) there exists a medical
262262 19 emergency or (ii) the administration of such an anesthetic or
263263 20 analgesic would decrease a possibility of sustained survival
264264 21 of the fetus apart from the body of the mother, with or without
265265 22 artificial support, or (b) when the physician who is to
266266 23 perform the abortion administers an anesthetic or an analgesic
267267 24 to the woman or the fetus and he or she knows there exists
268268 25 reasonable medical certainty that such use will abolish
269269 26 organic pain caused to the fetus during the course of the

280280 1 abortion.
281281 2 (7) No person shall sell or experiment upon a fetus
282282 3 produced by the fertilization of a human ovum by a human sperm
283283 4 unless such experimentation is therapeutic to the fetus
284284 5 thereby produced. Intentional violation of this section is a
285285 6 Class A misdemeanor. Nothing in this subsection is intended to
286286 7 prohibit the performance of in vitro fertilization.
287287 8 (8) No person shall intentionally perform an abortion with
288288 9 knowledge that the pregnant woman is seeking the abortion
289289 10 solely on account of the sex of the fetus. Nothing in this
290290 11 subsection shall be construed to proscribe the performance of
291291 12 an abortion on account of the sex of the fetus because of a
292292 13 genetic disorder linked to that sex. If the application of
293293 14 this subsection to the period of pregnancy prior to viability
294294 15 is held invalid, then such invalidity shall not affect its
295295 16 application to the period of pregnancy subsequent to
296296 17 viability.
297297 18 Section 10. Report and form. A report of each abortion
298298 19 performed shall be made to the Department on forms prescribed
299299 20 by it. Such report forms shall not identify the patient by
300300 21 name, but by an individual number to be noted in the patient's
301301 22 permanent record in the possession of the physician, and shall
302302 23 include information concerning:

10381038 1 Rules and regulations established by the Department shall
10391039 2 include provisions for training Department staff and the staff
10401040 3 of Department grantees, through contracts with other agencies
10411041 4 or resources, in screening techniques to identify substance
10421042 5 use disorders, as defined in the Substance Use Disorder Act,
10431043 6 approved by the Department of Human Services, as a successor
10441044 7 to the Department of Alcoholism and Substance Abuse, for the
10451045 8 purpose of identifying children and adults who should be
10461046 9 referred for an assessment at an organization appropriately
10471047 10 licensed by the Department of Human Services for substance use

10491049 12 (h) If the Department finds that there is no appropriate
10501050 13 program or facility within or available to the Department for
10511051 14 a youth in care and that no licensed private facility has an
10521052 15 adequate and appropriate program or none agrees to accept the
10531053 16 youth in care, the Department shall create an appropriate
10541054 17 individualized, program-oriented plan for such youth in care.
10551055 18 The plan may be developed within the Department or through
10561056 19 purchase of services by the Department to the extent that it is
10571057 20 within its statutory authority to do.

10851085 12 which it refers children or families.
10861086 13 (j) The Department may provide categories of financial
10871087 14 assistance and education assistance grants, and shall
10881088 15 establish rules and regulations concerning the assistance and
10891089 16 grants, to persons who adopt children with physical or mental
10901090 17 disabilities, children who are older, or other hard-to-place
10911091 18 children who (i) immediately prior to their adoption were
10921092 19 youth in care or (ii) were determined eligible for financial
10931093 20 assistance with respect to a prior adoption and who become
10941094 21 available for adoption because the prior adoption has been
10951095 22 dissolved and the parental rights of the adoptive parents have
10961096 23 been terminated or because the child's adoptive parents have
10971097 24 died. The Department may continue to provide financial
10981098 25 assistance and education assistance grants for a child who was

11111111 2 child's adoptive parents died and ending with the finalization
11121112 3 of the new adoption of the child by another adoptive parent or
11131113 4 parents. The Department may also provide categories of
11141114 5 financial assistance and education assistance grants, and
11151115 6 shall establish rules and regulations for the assistance and
11161116 7 grants, to persons appointed guardian of the person under
11171117 8 Section 5-7 of the Juvenile Court Act or Section 2-27, 3-28,
11181118 9 4-25, or 5-740 of the Juvenile Court Act of 1987 for children
11191119 10 who were youth in care for 12 months immediately prior to the
11201120 11 appointment of the guardian.
11211121 12 The amount of assistance may vary, depending upon the
11221122 13 needs of the child and the adoptive parents, as set forth in
11231123 14 the annual assistance agreement. Special purpose grants are
11241124 15 allowed where the child requires special service but such
11251125 16 costs may not exceed the amounts which similar services would
11261126 17 cost the Department if it were to provide or secure them as
11271127 18 guardian of the child.
11281128 19 Any financial assistance provided under this subsection is
11291129 20 inalienable by assignment, sale, execution, attachment,
11301130 21 garnishment, or any other remedy for recovery or collection of
11311131 22 a judgment or debt.
11321132 23 (j-5) The Department shall not deny or delay the placement
11331133 24 of a child for adoption if an approved family is available
11341134 25 either outside of the Department region handling the case, or
11351135 26 outside of the State of Illinois.

11471147 2 child who has been adjudicated neglected or abused, or
11481148 3 dependent committed to it pursuant to the Juvenile Court Act
11491149 4 or the Juvenile Court Act of 1987.
11501150 5 (l) The Department shall offer family preservation
11511151 6 services, as defined in Section 8.2 of the Abused and
11521152 7 Neglected Child Reporting Act, to help families, including
11531153 8 adoptive and extended families. Family preservation services
11541154 9 shall be offered (i) to prevent the placement of children in
11551155 10 substitute care when the children can be cared for at home or
11561156 11 in the custody of the person responsible for the children's
11571157 12 welfare, (ii) to reunite children with their families, or
11581158 13 (iii) to maintain an adoptive placement. Family preservation
11591159 14 services shall only be offered when doing so will not endanger
11601160 15 the children's health or safety. With respect to children who
11611161 16 are in substitute care pursuant to the Juvenile Court Act of
11621162 17 1987, family preservation services shall not be offered if a
11631163 18 goal other than those of paragraph subdivisions (A), (B), or
11641164 19 (B-1) of subsection (2) of Section 2-28 of that Act has been
11651165 20 set, except that reunification services may be offered as
11661166 21 provided in paragraph (F) of subsection (2) of Section 2-28 of
11671167 22 that Act. Nothing in this paragraph shall be construed to
11681168 23 create a private right of action or claim on the part of any
11691169 24 individual or child welfare agency, except that when a child
11701170 25 is the subject of an action under Article II of the Juvenile

11851185 4 services set out in the plan, if those services are not
11861186 5 provided with reasonable promptness and if those services are
11871187 6 available.
11881188 7 The Department shall notify the child and his family of
11891189 8 the Department's responsibility to offer and provide family
11901190 9 preservation services as identified in the service plan. The
11911191 10 child and his family shall be eligible for services as soon as
11921192 11 the report is determined to be "indicated". The Department may
11931193 12 offer services to any child or family with respect to whom a
11941194 13 report of suspected child abuse or neglect has been filed,
11951195 14 prior to concluding its investigation under Section 7.12 of
11961196 15 the Abused and Neglected Child Reporting Act. However, the
11971197 16 child's or family's willingness to accept services shall not
11981198 17 be considered in the investigation. The Department may also
11991199 18 provide services to any child or family who is the subject of
12001200 19 any report of suspected child abuse or neglect or may refer
12011201 20 such child or family to services available from other agencies
12021202 21 in the community, even if the report is determined to be
12031203 22 unfounded, if the conditions in the child's or family's home
12041204 23 are reasonably likely to subject the child or family to future
12051205 24 reports of suspected child abuse or neglect. Acceptance of
12061206 25 such services shall be voluntary. The Department may also

12221222 5 The Department may, at its discretion except for those
12231223 6 children also adjudicated neglected or dependent, accept for
12241224 7 care and training any child who has been adjudicated addicted,
12251225 8 as a truant minor in need of supervision or as a minor
12261226 9 requiring authoritative intervention, under the Juvenile Court
12271227 10 Act or the Juvenile Court Act of 1987, but no such child shall
12281228 11 be committed to the Department by any court without the
12291229 12 approval of the Department. On and after January 1, 2015 (the
12301230 13 effective date of Public Act 98-803) and before January 1,
12311231 14 2017, a minor charged with a criminal offense under the
12321232 15 Criminal Code of 1961 or the Criminal Code of 2012 or
12331233 16 adjudicated delinquent shall not be placed in the custody of
12341234 17 or committed to the Department by any court, except (i) a minor
12351235 18 less than 16 years of age committed to the Department under
12361236 19 Section 5-710 of the Juvenile Court Act of 1987, (ii) a minor
12371237 20 for whom an independent basis of abuse, neglect, or dependency
12381238 21 exists, which must be defined by departmental rule, or (iii) a
12391239 22 minor for whom the court has granted a supplemental petition
12401240 23 to reinstate wardship pursuant to subsection (2) of Section
12411241 24 2-33 of the Juvenile Court Act of 1987. On and after January 1,

12541254 1 adjudicated delinquent shall not be placed in the custody of
12551255 2 or committed to the Department by any court, except (i) a minor
12561256 3 less than 15 years of age committed to the Department under
12571257 4 Section 5-710 of the Juvenile Court Act of 1987, ii) a minor
12581258 5 for whom an independent basis of abuse, neglect, or dependency
12591259 6 exists, which must be defined by departmental rule, or (iii) a
12601260 7 minor for whom the court has granted a supplemental petition
12611261 8 to reinstate wardship pursuant to subsection (2) of Section
12621262 9 2-33 of the Juvenile Court Act of 1987. An independent basis
12631263 10 exists when the allegations or adjudication of abuse, neglect,
12641264 11 or dependency do not arise from the same facts, incident, or
12651265 12 circumstances which give rise to a charge or adjudication of
12661266 13 delinquency. The Department shall assign a caseworker to
12671267 14 attend any hearing involving a youth in the care and custody of
12681268 15 the Department who is placed on aftercare release, including
12691269 16 hearings involving sanctions for violation of aftercare
12701270 17 release conditions and aftercare release revocation hearings.
12711271 18 As soon as is possible after August 7, 2009 (the effective
12721272 19 date of Public Act 96-134), the Department shall develop and
12731273 20 implement a special program of family preservation services to
12741274 21 support intact, foster, and adoptive families who are
12751275 22 experiencing extreme hardships due to the difficulty and
12761276 23 stress of caring for a child who has been diagnosed with a
12771277 24 pervasive developmental disorder if the Department determines
12781278 25 that those services are necessary to ensure the health and
12791279 26 safety of the child. The Department may offer services to any

12921292 3 the child or family to services available from other agencies
12931293 4 in the community if the conditions in the child's or family's
12941294 5 home are reasonably likely to subject the child or family to
12951295 6 future reports of suspected child abuse or neglect. Acceptance
12961296 7 of these services shall be voluntary. The Department shall
12971297 8 develop and implement a public information campaign to alert
12981298 9 health and social service providers and the general public
12991299 10 about these special family preservation services. The nature
13001300 11 and scope of the services offered and the number of families
13011301 12 served under the special program implemented under this
13021302 13 paragraph shall be determined by the level of funding that the
13031303 14 Department annually allocates for this purpose. The term
13041304 15 "pervasive developmental disorder" under this paragraph means
13051305 16 a neurological condition, including, but not limited to,
13061306 17 Asperger's Syndrome and autism, as defined in the most recent
13071307 18 edition of the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental
13081308 19 Disorders of the American Psychiatric Association.
13091309 20 (l-1) The legislature recognizes that the best interests
13101310 21 of the child require that the child be placed in the most
13111311 22 permanent living arrangement as soon as is practically
13121312 23 possible. To achieve this goal, the legislature directs the
13131313 24 Department of Children and Family Services to conduct
13141314 25 concurrent planning so that permanency may occur at the
13151315 26 earliest opportunity. Permanent living arrangements may

13371337 12 shall ensure and document that reasonable efforts were made to
13381338 13 prevent or eliminate the need to remove the child from the
13391339 14 child's home. The Department must make reasonable efforts to
13401340 15 reunify the family when temporary placement of the child
13411341 16 occurs unless otherwise required, pursuant to the Juvenile
13421342 17 Court Act of 1987. At any time after the dispositional hearing
13431343 18 where the Department believes that further reunification
13441344 19 services would be ineffective, it may request a finding from
13451345 20 the court that reasonable efforts are no longer appropriate.
13461346 21 The Department is not required to provide further
13471347 22 reunification services after such a finding.
13481348 23 A decision to place a child in substitute care shall be
13491349 24 made with considerations of the child's health, safety, and
13501350 25 best interests. At the time of placement, consideration should
13511351 26 also be given so that if reunification fails or is delayed, the

13641364 3 The Department shall adopt rules addressing concurrent
13651365 4 planning for reunification and permanency. The Department
13661366 5 shall consider the following factors when determining
13671367 6 appropriateness of concurrent planning:
13681368 7 (1) the likelihood of prompt reunification;
13691369 8 (2) the past history of the family;

13731373 12 (5) the foster parents' willingness to work with the
13741374 13 family to reunite;
13751375 14 (6) the willingness and ability of the foster family
13761376 15 to provide an adoptive home or long-term placement;
13771377 16 (7) the age of the child;
13781378 17 (8) placement of siblings.
13791379 18 (m) The Department may assume temporary custody of any
13801380 19 child if:
13811381 20 (1) it has received a written consent to such

14011401 4 guardian, custodian, or responsible caretaker, the Department
14021402 5 may, instead of removing the child and assuming temporary
14031403 6 custody, place an authorized representative of the Department
14041404 7 in that residence until such time as a parent, guardian, or
14051405 8 custodian enters the home and expresses a willingness and
14061406 9 apparent ability to ensure the child's health and safety and
14071407 10 resume permanent charge of the child, or until a relative
14081408 11 enters the home and is willing and able to ensure the child's
14091409 12 health and safety and assume charge of the child until a
14101410 13 parent, guardian, or custodian enters the home and expresses
14111411 14 such willingness and ability to ensure the child's safety and
14121412 15 resume permanent charge. After a caretaker has remained in the
14131413 16 home for a period not to exceed 12 hours, the Department must
14141414 17 follow those procedures outlined in Section 2-9, 3-11, 4-8, or

14381438 5 of the child would have under subsection (9) of Section 1-3 of
14391439 6 the Juvenile Court Act of 1987.
14401440 7 The Department shall ensure that any child taken into
14411441 8 custody is scheduled for an appointment for a medical
14421442 9 examination.
14431443 10 A parent, guardian, or custodian of a child in the
14441444 11 temporary custody of the Department who would have custody of
14451445 12 the child if he were not in the temporary custody of the
14461446 13 Department may deliver to the Department a signed request that
14471447 14 the Department surrender the temporary custody of the child.
14481448 15 The Department may retain temporary custody of the child for
14491449 16 10 days after the receipt of the request, during which period
14501450 17 the Department may cause to be filed a petition pursuant to the
14511451 18 Juvenile Court Act of 1987. If a petition is so filed, the
14521452 19 Department shall retain temporary custody of the child until
14531453 20 the court orders otherwise. If a petition is not filed within
14541454 21 the 10-day period, the child shall be surrendered to the
14551455 22 custody of the requesting parent, guardian, or custodian not
14561456 23 later than the expiration of the 10-day period, at which time
14571457 24 the authority and duties of the Department with respect to the
14581458 25 temporary custody of the child shall terminate.

14751475 6 facility subject to Section 2-27.1 of the Juvenile Court Act
14761476 7 of 1987. This subsection (m-1) does not apply to a child who is
14771477 8 subject to placement in a correctional facility operated
14781478 9 pursuant to Section 3-15-2 of the Unified Code of Corrections,
14791479 10 unless the child is a youth in care who was placed in the care
14801480 11 of the Department before being subject to placement in a
14811481 12 correctional facility and a court of competent jurisdiction
14821482 13 has ordered placement of the child in a secure care facility.
14831483 14 (n) The Department may place children under 18 years of
14841484 15 age in licensed child care facilities when in the opinion of
14851485 16 the Department, appropriate services aimed at family
14861486 17 preservation have been unsuccessful and cannot ensure the
14871487 18 child's health and safety or are unavailable and such
14881488 19 placement would be for their best interest. Payment for board,
14891489 20 clothing, care, training and supervision of any child placed
14901490 21 in a licensed child care facility may be made by the
14911491 22 Department, by the parents or guardians of the estates of

15101510 5 where children require specialized care and treatment for
15111511 6 problems of severe emotional disturbance, physical disability,
15121512 7 social adjustment, or any combination thereof and suitable
15131513 8 facilities for the placement of such children are not

15191519 14 welfare services, aimed at assisting minors to achieve
15201520 15 sustainable self-sufficiency as independent adults, for any
15211521 16 minor eligible for the reinstatement of wardship pursuant to
15221522 17 subsection (2) of Section 2-33 of the Juvenile Court Act of
15231523 18 1987, whether or not such reinstatement is sought or allowed,
15241524 19 provided that the minor consents to such services and has not
15251525 20 yet attained the age of 21. The Department shall have
15261526 21 responsibility for the development and delivery of services
15271527 22 under this Section. An eligible youth may access services
15281528 23 under this Section through the Department of Children and
15291529 24 Family Services or by referral from the Department of Human
15301530 25 Services. Youth participating in services under this Section

15451545 4 youth receiving child welfare services under this Section. The
15461546 5 Department shall continue child welfare services under this
15471547 6 Section to any eligible minor until the minor becomes 21 years
15481548 7 of age, no longer consents to participate, or achieves
15491549 8 self-sufficiency as identified in the minor's service plan.
15501550 9 The Department of Children and Family Services shall create
15511551 10 clear, readable notice of the rights of former foster youth to
15521552 11 child welfare services under this Section and how such
15531553 12 services may be obtained. The Department of Children and
15541554 13 Family Services and the Department of Human Services shall
15551555 14 disseminate this information statewide. The Department shall
15561556 15 adopt regulations describing services intended to assist
15571557 16 minors in achieving sustainable self-sufficiency as
15581558 17 independent adults.
15591559 18 (o) The Department shall establish an administrative
15601560 19 review and appeal process for children and families who
15611561 20 request or receive child welfare services from the Department.
15621562 21 Youth in care who are placed by private child welfare
15631563 22 agencies, and foster families with whom those youth are
15641564 23 placed, shall be afforded the same procedural and appeal
15651565 24 rights as children and families in the case of placement by the
15661566 25 Department, including the right to an initial review of a
15671567 26 private agency decision by that agency. The Department shall

15781578 1 ensure that any private child welfare agency, which accepts
15791579 2 youth in care for placement, affords those rights to children
15801580 3 and foster families. The Department shall accept for
15811581 4 administrative review and an appeal hearing a complaint made
15821582 5 by (i) a child or foster family concerning a decision
15831583 6 following an initial review by a private child welfare agency
15841584 7 or (ii) a prospective adoptive parent who alleges a violation
15851585 8 of subsection (j-5) of this Section. An appeal of a decision
15861586 9 concerning a change in the placement of a child shall be
15871587 10 conducted in an expedited manner. A court determination that a
15881588 11 current foster home placement is necessary and appropriate
15891589 12 under Section 2-28 of the Juvenile Court Act of 1987 does not
15901590 13 constitute a judicial determination on the merits of an
15911591 14 administrative appeal, filed by a former foster parent,
15921592 15 involving a change of placement decision.

15991599 22 the Department, except that the benefits described in Section
16001600 23 5.46 must be used and conserved consistent with the provisions

16281628 15 "Guardianship Administrator" or his or her designee must
16291629 16 approve disbursements from children's accounts. The
16301630 17 Department shall be responsible for keeping complete
16311631 18 records of all disbursements for each account for any

16601660 11 who have applied for and have been approved for adoption of a
16611661 12 hard-to-place child or child with a disability and the names
16621662 13 of such children who have not been placed for adoption. A list
16631663 14 of such names and addresses shall be maintained by the
16641664 15 Department or its agent, and coded lists which maintain the
16651665 16 confidentiality of the person seeking to adopt the child and
16661666 17 of the child shall be made available, without charge, to every
16671667 18 adoption agency in the State to assist the agencies in placing
16681668 19 such children for adoption. The Department may delegate to an
16691669 20 agent its duty to maintain and make available such lists. The
16701670 21 Department shall ensure that such agent maintains the
16711671 22 confidentiality of the person seeking to adopt the child and
16721672 23 of the child.

24772477 4 juror serving pursuant to this paragraph shall receive
24782478 5 compensation from the county at the same rate as the rate of
24792479 6 compensation that is paid to petit or grand jurors in the

25142514 5 shall provide a copy of the death certificate (i) within 30
25152515 6 days after filing the permanent death certificate and (ii) in
25162516 7 a manner that is agreed upon by the coroner and the State Fire
25172517 8 Marshal.
25182518 9 In every case in which a drug overdose is determined to be

25212521 12 Public Health. The Department of Public Health shall adopt
25222522 13 rules regarding specific information that must be reported in
25232523 14 the event of such a death. If possible, the coroner shall
25242524 15 report the cause of the overdose. As used in this Section,
25252525 16 "overdose" has the same meaning as it does in Section 414 of
25262526 17 the Illinois Controlled Substances Act. The Department of
25272527 18 Public Health shall issue a semiannual report to the General
25282528 19 Assembly summarizing the reports received. The Department
25292529 20 shall also provide on its website a monthly report of overdose
25302530 21 death figures organized by location, age, and any other
25312531 22 factors, the Department deems appropriate.

27012701 13 of the coroner, the coroner may summon 8 persons of lawful age
27022702 14 from those persons drawn for petit jurors in the county. The

27262726 2 juror serving pursuant to this paragraph shall receive
27272727 3 compensation from the county at the same rate as the rate of
27282728 4 compensation that is paid to petit or grand jurors in the
27292729 5 county. The coroner shall furnish to each juror without fee at
27302730 6 the time of his discharge a certificate of the number of days
27312731 7 in attendance at an inquest, and, upon being presented with
27322732 8 such certificate, the county treasurer shall pay to the juror
27332733 9 the sum provided for his services.
27342734 10 In counties which have a jury commission, in cases of
27352735 11 apparent suicide or homicide or of accidental death, the

27372737 13 provide at least 8 jurors to the coroner, from whom the coroner
27382738 14 shall select any 6 to serve as the jury for the inquest.
27392739 15 Inquests may be continued from time to time as the coroner may
27402740 16 deem necessary. The 6 jurors originally chosen in a given case

27422742 18 inquest one or more of the 6 jurors originally chosen shall be
27432743 19 unable to continue to serve, the coroner shall fill the
27442744 20 vacancy or vacancies. At the coroner's discretion, additional
27452745 21 jurors to fill such vacancies shall be supplied by the jury
27462746 22 commission. A juror serving pursuant to this paragraph in such
27472747 23 county shall receive compensation from the county at the same

27652765 5 a manner that is agreed upon by the coroner and the State Fire
27662766 6 Marshal.
27672767 7 In every case in which a drug overdose is determined to be
27682768 8 the cause or a contributing factor in the death, the coroner or
27692769 9 medical examiner shall report the death to the Department of

27712771 11 rules regarding specific information that must be reported in
27722772 12 the event of such a death. If possible, the coroner shall
27732773 13 report the cause of the overdose. As used in this Section,
27742774 14 "overdose" has the same meaning as it does in Section 414 of
27752775 15 the Illinois Controlled Substances Act. The Department of
27762776 16 Public Health shall issue a semiannual report to the General
27772777 17 Assembly summarizing the reports received. The Department
27782778 18 shall also provide on its website a monthly report of overdose
27792779 19 death figures organized by location, age, and any other
27802780 20 factors, the Department deems appropriate.
27812781 21 In addition, in every case in which domestic violence is
27822782 22 determined to be a contributing factor in a death, the coroner
27832783 23 shall report the death to the Illinois State Police.

28052805 9 State or youth in care as defined in Section 4d of the Children
28062806 10 and Family Services Act, the coroner may conduct a preliminary

41204120 6 both, when directed, shall result in an automatic suspension,
41214121 7 without hearing, until such time as the individual submits to
41224122 8 the examination. If the Medical Board finds a physician unable
