2160	2160	7 Sec. 4.04. Long Term Care Ombudsman Program. The purpose
2161	2161	8 of the Long Term Care Ombudsman Program is to ensure that older
2162	2162	9 persons and persons with disabilities receive quality

2164	2164	11 for residents of long term care facilities and participants

2168	2168	15 disabilities, including dual eligible participants. The
2169	2169	16 additional ombudsman authority will allow advocacy services to
2170	2170	17 be provided to Illinois participants for the first time and
2171	2171	18 will produce a cost savings for the State of Illinois by
2172	2172	19 supporting the rebalancing efforts of the Patient Protection
2173	2173	20 and Affordable Care Act.

3599	3599	15 exploitation, or egregious neglect of an individual,

3637	3637	17 to present reasons why the employee's name should not be
3638	3638	18 reported to the Registry. The Department shall bear the
3639	3639	19 burden of presenting evidence that establishes, by a
3640	3640	20 preponderance of the evidence, that the substantiated
3641	3641	21 finding warrants reporting to the Registry. After

3643	3643	23 law judge shall make a recommendation to the Secretary as

4405	4405	8 the sheriff or medical examiner coroner within 10 days after

5267	5267	19 officer before the option is elected, if payment is made
5268	5268	20 after the county board has filed with the Board of the Fund
5269	5269	21 a resolution or ordinance requiring an additional
5270	5270	22 contribution under this paragraph, then the contribution
5271	5271	23 required under paragraph (2) shall include an amount to be
5272	5272	24 determined by the Fund, equal to the actuarial present
5273	5273	25 value of the additional employer cost that would otherwise

5286	5286	2 requiring additional contributions under this paragraph
5287	5287	3 (3) is irrevocable. Payment must be received by the Board
5288	5288	4 while the member is an active participant, except that one
5289	5289	5 payment will be permitted after termination of
5290	5290	6 participation.
5291	5291	7 No additional optional contributions may be made for any
5292	5292	8 period of service for which credit has been previously

5296	5296	12 (b) In lieu of the retirement annuity otherwise payable
5297	5297	13 under this Article, an elected county officer who (1) has
5298	5298	14 elected to participate in the Fund and make additional
5299	5299	15 optional contributions in accordance with this Section, (2)
5300	5300	16 has held and made additional optional contributions with
5301	5301	17 respect to the same elected county office for at least 8 years,
5302	5302	18 and (3) has attained age 55 with at least 8 years of service
5303	5303	19 credit (or has attained age 50 with at least 20 years of
5304	5304	20 service as a sheriff's law enforcement employee) may elect to
5305	5305	21 have his retirement annuity computed as follows: 3% of the
5306	5306	22 participant's salary for each of the first 8 years of service
5307	5307	23 credit, plus 4% of that salary for each of the next 4 years of
5308	5308	24 service credit, plus 5% of that salary for each year of service
5309	5309	25 credit in excess of 12 years, subject to a maximum of 80% of

5321	5321	1 This formula applies only to service in an elected county
5322	5322	2 office that the officer held for at least 8 years, and only to
5323	5323	3 service for which additional optional contributions have been
5324	5324	4 paid under this Section. If an elected county officer
5325	5325	5 qualifies to have this formula applied to service in more than
5326	5326	6 one elected county office, the qualifying service shall be
5327	5327	7 accumulated for purposes of determining the applicable accrual
5328	5328	8 percentages, but the salary used for each office shall be the
5329	5329	9 separate salary calculated for that office, as defined in
5330	5330	10 subsection (g).
5331	5331	11 To the extent that the elected county officer has service
5332	5332	12 credit that does not qualify for this formula, his retirement
5333	5333	13 annuity will first be determined in accordance with this
5334	5334	14 formula with respect to the service to which this formula
5335	5335	15 applies, and then in accordance with the remaining Sections of

5337	5337	17 does not apply.
5338	5338	18 (c) In lieu of the disability benefits otherwise payable
5339	5339	19 under this Article, an elected county officer who (1) has
5340	5340	20 elected to participate in the Fund, and (2) has become
5341	5341	21 permanently disabled and as a consequence is unable to perform
5342	5342	22 the duties of his office, and (3) was making optional
5343	5343	23 contributions in accordance with this Section at the time the
5344	5344	24 disability was incurred, may elect to receive a disability
5345	5345	25 annuity calculated in accordance with the formula in

5357	5357	1 elected county officer shall be considered permanently
5358	5358	2 disabled only if: (i) disability occurs while in service as an
5359	5359	3 elected county officer and is of such a nature as to prevent
5360	5360	4 him from reasonably performing the duties of his office at the
5361	5361	5 time; and (ii) the board has received a written certification
5362	5362	6 by at least 2 licensed physicians appointed by it stating that
5363	5363	7 the officer is disabled and that the disability is likely to be
5364	5364	8 permanent.
5365	5365	9 (d) Refunds of additional optional contributions shall be
5366	5366	10 made on the same basis and under the same conditions as
5367	5367	11 provided under Section 7-166, 7-167 and 7-168. Interest shall
5368	5368	12 be credited at the effective rate on the same basis and under
5369	5369	13 the same conditions as for other contributions.
5370	5370	14 If an elected county officer fails to hold that same
5371	5371	15 elected county office for at least 8 years, he or she shall be
5372	5372	16 entitled after leaving office to receive a refund of the
5373	5373	17 additional optional contributions made with respect to that
5374	5374	18 office, plus interest at the effective rate.
5375	5375	19 (e) The plan of optional alternative benefits and

5406	5406	14 filled by election on a countywide basis, for the duration of
5407	5407	15 his or her service in that office. The terms "elected county
5408	5408	16 officer" and "elected county office" do not include any

5474	5474	12 whose prior training and experience as homicide investigators
5475	5475	13 may qualify them for a waiver. The Board may issue a waiver at
5476	5476	14 its discretion, based solely on the prior training and
5477	5477	15 experience of an officer as a homicide investigator. This
5478	5478	16 Section does not affect or impede the powers of the office of

6237	6237	3 of death is not determined;
6238	6238	4 (d) A death where addiction to alcohol or to any drug
6239	6239	5 may have been a contributory cause; or
6240	6240	6 (e) A death where the decedent was not attended by a
6241	6241	7 licensed physician;
6242	6242	8 shall go to the place where the dead body is, and take charge
6243	6243	9 of the same and shall make a preliminary investigation into
6244	6244	10 the circumstances of the death. In the case of death without
6245	6245	11 attendance by a licensed physician, the body may be moved with
6246	6246	12 the coroner's consent from the place of death to a mortuary in

6253	6253	19 operator of a motor vehicle, or (2) a pedestrian 16 years of
6254	6254	20 age or older, the coroner shall require that a blood specimen
6255	6255	21 of at least 30 cc., and if medically possible a urine specimen
6256	6256	22 of at least 30 cc. or as much as possible up to 30 cc., be
6257	6257	23 withdrawn from the body of the decedent in a timely fashion
6258	6258	24 after the accident causing his death, by such physician as has

6272	6272	2 not maintain laboratory facilities for making such analysis,
6273	6273	3 the blood and urine so drawn shall be sent to the Illinois
6274	6274	4 State Police or any other accredited or State-certified
6275	6275	5 laboratory for analysis of the alcohol, carbon monoxide, and
6276	6276	6 dangerous or narcotic drug content of such blood and urine
6277	6277	7 specimens. Each specimen submitted shall be accompanied by
6278	6278	8 pertinent information concerning the decedent upon a form
6279	6279	9 prescribed by such laboratory. Any person drawing blood and
6280	6280	10 urine and any person making any examination of the blood and
6281	6281	11 urine under the terms of this Division shall be immune from all
6282	6282	12 liability, civil or criminal, that might otherwise be incurred
6283	6283	13 or imposed.

6286	6286	16 above, blood, and, whenever possible, urine samples shall be
6287	6287	17 analyzed for the presence of alcohol and other drugs. When the
6288	6288	18 coroner suspects that drugs may have been involved in the
6289	6289	19 death, either directly or indirectly, a toxicological
6290	6290	20 examination shall be performed which may include analyses of
6291	6291	21 blood, urine, bile, gastric contents, and other tissues. When
6292	6292	22 the coroner suspects a death is due to toxic substances, other
6293	6293	23 than drugs, the coroner shall consult with the toxicologist
6294	6294	24 prior to collection of samples. Information submitted to the
6295	6295	25 toxicologist shall include information as to height, weight,

6310	6310	4 examiner shall cause blood and buccal specimens (tissue may be
6311	6311	5 submitted if no uncontaminated blood or buccal specimen can be
6312	6312	6 obtained), whenever possible, to be withdrawn from the body of
6313	6313	7 the decedent in a timely fashion. For proper preservation of
6314	6314	8 the specimens, collected blood and buccal specimens shall be
6315	6315	9 dried and tissue specimens shall be frozen if available

6317	6317	11 days after the collection of the specimens, the coroner or
6318	6318	12 medical examiner shall release those specimens to the police
6319	6319	13 agency responsible for investigating the death. As soon as
6320	6320	14 possible, but no later than 30 days after the receipt from the
6321	6321	15 coroner or medical examiner, the police agency shall submit
6322	6322	16 the specimens using the agency case number to a National DNA

6345	6345	3 In all counties, in cases of apparent suicide, homicide,
6346	6346	4 or accidental death or in other cases, within the discretion
6347	6347	5 of the coroner, the coroner may summon 8 persons of lawful age
6348	6348	6 from those persons drawn for petit jurors in the county. The
6349	6349	7 summons shall command these persons to present themselves
6350	6350	8 personally at such a place and time as the coroner shall
6351	6351	9 determine, and may be in any form which the coroner shall
6352	6352	10 determine and may incorporate any reasonable form of request
6353	6353	11 for acknowledgment which the coroner deems practical and
6354	6354	12 provides a reliable proof of service. The summons may be
6355	6355	13 served by first class mail. From the 8 persons so summoned, the
6356	6356	14 coroner shall select 6 to serve as the jury for the inquest.
6357	6357	15 Inquests may be continued from time to time, as the coroner may
6358	6358	16 deem necessary. The 6 jurors selected in a given case may view
6359	6359	17 the body of the deceased. If at any continuation of an inquest
6360	6360	18 one or more of the original jurors shall be unable to continue
6361	6361	19 to serve, the coroner shall fill the vacancy or vacancies. A
6362	6362	20 juror serving pursuant to this paragraph shall receive
6363	6363	21 compensation from the county at the same rate as the rate of
6364	6364	22 compensation that is paid to petit or grand jurors in the
6365	6365	23 county. The coroner shall furnish to each juror without fee at
6366	6366	24 the time of his discharge a certificate of the number of days
6367	6367	25 in attendance at an inquest, and, upon being presented with
6368	6368	26 such certificate, the county treasurer shall pay to the juror

6380	6380	2 In counties which have a jury commission, in cases of
6381	6381	3 apparent suicide or homicide or of accidental death, the
6382	6382	4 coroner may conduct an inquest. The jury commission shall
6383	6383	5 provide at least 8 jurors to the coroner, from whom the coroner
6384	6384	6 shall select any 6 to serve as the jury for the inquest.
6385	6385	7 Inquests may be continued from time to time as the coroner may
6386	6386	8 deem necessary. The 6 jurors originally chosen in a given case
6387	6387	9 may view the body of the deceased. If at any continuation of an
6388	6388	10 inquest one or more of the 6 jurors originally chosen shall be
6389	6389	11 unable to continue to serve, the coroner shall fill the
6390	6390	12 vacancy or vacancies. At the coroner's discretion, additional
6391	6391	13 jurors to fill such vacancies shall be supplied by the jury
6392	6392	14 commission. A juror serving pursuant to this paragraph in such
6393	6393	15 county shall receive compensation from the county at the same
6394	6394	16 rate as the rate of compensation that is paid to petit or grand
6395	6395	17 jurors in the county.
6396	6396	18 In every case in which a fire is determined to be a
6397	6397	19 contributing factor in a death, the coroner shall report the
6398	6398	20 death to the Office of the State Fire Marshal. The coroner
6399	6399	21 shall provide a copy of the death certificate (i) within 30
6400	6400	22 days after filing the permanent death certificate and (ii) in
6401	6401	23 a manner that is agreed upon by the coroner and the State Fire
6402	6402	24 Marshal.
6403	6403	25 In every case in which a drug overdose is determined to be

6418	6418	4 the event of such a death. If possible, the coroner shall
6419	6419	5 report the cause of the overdose. As used in this Section,
6420	6420	6 "overdose" has the same meaning as it does in Section 414 of
6421	6421	7 the Illinois Controlled Substances Act. The Department of
6422	6422	8 Public Health shall issue a semiannual report to the General
6423	6423	9 Assembly summarizing the reports received. The Department
6424	6424	10 shall also provide on its website a monthly report of overdose
6425	6425	11 death figures organized by location, age, and any other
6426	6426	12 factors, the Department deems appropriate.
6427	6427	13 In addition, in every case in which domestic violence is
6428	6428	14 determined to be a contributing factor in a death, the coroner
6429	6429	15 shall report the death to the Illinois State Police.
6430	6430	16 All deaths in State institutions and all deaths of wards
6431	6431	17 of the State or youth in care as defined in Section 4d of the

6525	6525	4 In cases of accidental death involving a motor vehicle in
6526	6526	5 which the decedent was (1) the operator or a suspected
6527	6527	6 operator of a motor vehicle, or (2) a pedestrian 16 years of
6528	6528	7 age or older, the medical examiner coroner shall require that
6529	6529	8 a blood specimen of at least 30 cc., and if medically possible
6530	6530	9 a urine specimen of at least 30 cc. or as much as possible up
6531	6531	10 to 30 cc., be withdrawn from the body of the decedent in a
6532	6532	11 timely fashion after the crash causing his death, by such
6533	6533	12 physician as has been designated in accordance with Section
6534	6534	13 3-3014, or by the medical examiner coroner or deputy medical
6535	6535	14 examiner coroner or a qualified person designated by such
6536	6536	15 physician, medical examiner coroner, or deputy medical
6537	6537	16 examiner coroner. If the county does not maintain laboratory
6538	6538	17 facilities for making such analysis, the blood and urine so
6539	6539	18 drawn shall be sent to the Illinois State Police or any other
6540	6540	19 accredited or State-certified laboratory for analysis of the
6541	6541	20 alcohol, carbon monoxide, and dangerous or narcotic drug
6542	6542	21 content of such blood and urine specimens. Each specimen
6543	6543	22 submitted shall be accompanied by pertinent information
6544	6544	23 concerning the decedent upon a form prescribed by such
6545	6545	24 laboratory. Any person drawing blood and urine and any person
6546	6546	25 making any examination of the blood and urine under the terms
6547	6547	26 of this Division shall be immune from all liability, civil or

6562	6562	5 samples shall be analyzed for the presence of alcohol and
6563	6563	6 other drugs. When the medical examiner coroner suspects that
6564	6564	7 drugs may have been involved in the death, either directly or
6565	6565	8 indirectly, a toxicological examination shall be performed
6566	6566	9 which may include analyses of blood, urine, bile, gastric
6567	6567	10 contents, and other tissues. When the medical examiner coroner
6568	6568	11 suspects a death is due to toxic substances, other than drugs,
6569	6569	12 the medical examiner coroner shall consult with the
6570	6570	13 toxicologist prior to collection of samples. Information
6571	6571	14 submitted to the toxicologist shall include information as to
6572	6572	15 height, weight, age, sex, and race of the decedent as well as
6573	6573	16 medical history, medications used by, and the manner of death
6574	6574	17 of the decedent.
6575	6575	18 When the coroner or medical examiner finds that the cause
6576	6576	19 of death is due to homicidal means, the coroner or medical
6577	6577	20 examiner shall cause blood and buccal specimens (tissue may be
6578	6578	21 submitted if no uncontaminated blood or buccal specimen can be
6579	6579	22 obtained), whenever possible, to be withdrawn from the body of
6580	6580	23 the decedent in a timely fashion. For proper preservation of
6581	6581	24 the specimens, collected blood and buccal specimens shall be
6582	6582	25 dried and tissue specimens shall be frozen if available

6597	6597	4 possible, but no later than 30 days after the receipt from the
6598	6598	5 coroner or medical examiner, the police agency shall submit
6599	6599	6 the specimens using the agency case number to a National DNA
6600	6600	7 Index System (NDIS) participating laboratory within this
6601	6601	8 State, such as the Illinois State Police, Division of Forensic
6602	6602	9 Services, for analysis and categorizing into genetic marker
6603	6603	10 groupings. The results of the analysis and categorizing into
6604	6604	11 genetic marker groupings shall be provided to the Illinois
6605	6605	12 State Police and shall be maintained by the Illinois State
6606	6606	13 Police in the State central repository in the same manner, and
6607	6607	14 subject to the same conditions, as provided in Section 5-4-3
6608	6608	15 of the Unified Code of Corrections. The requirements of this

6612	6612	19 In all counties, in cases of apparent suicide, homicide,
6613	6613	20 or accidental death or in other cases, within the discretion
6614	6614	21 of the medical examiner coroner, the medical examiner coroner
6615	6615	22 may summon 8 persons of lawful age from those persons drawn for
6616	6616	23 petit jurors in the county. The summons shall command these
6617	6617	24 persons to present themselves personally at such a place and

6631	6631	2 for acknowledgment which the medical examiner coroner deems
6632	6632	3 practical and provides a reliable proof of service. The
6633	6633	4 summons may be served by first class mail. From the 8 persons
6634	6634	5 so summoned, the medical examiner coroner shall select 6 to
6635	6635	6 serve as the jury for the inquest. Inquests may be continued
6636	6636	7 from time to time, as the medical examiner coroner may deem
6637	6637	8 necessary. The 6 jurors selected in a given case may view the
6638	6638	9 body of the deceased. If at any continuation of an inquest one
6639	6639	10 or more of the original jurors shall be unable to continue to
6640	6640	11 serve, the medical examiner coroner shall fill the vacancy or
6641	6641	12 vacancies. A juror serving pursuant to this paragraph shall
6642	6642	13 receive compensation from the county at the same rate as the
6643	6643	14 rate of compensation that is paid to petit or grand jurors in
6644	6644	15 the county. The medical examiner coroner shall furnish to each
6645	6645	16 juror without fee at the time of his discharge a certificate of
6646	6646	17 the number of days in attendance at an inquest, and, upon being
6647	6647	18 presented with such certificate, the county treasurer shall
6648	6648	19 pay to the juror the sum provided for his services.
6649	6649	20 In counties which have a jury commission, in cases of
6650	6650	21 apparent suicide or homicide or of accidental death, the
6651	6651	22 medical examiner coroner may conduct an inquest. The jury
6652	6652	23 commission shall provide at least 8 jurors to the medical
6653	6653	24 examiner coroner, from whom the medical examiner coroner shall
6654	6654	25 select any 6 to serve as the jury for the inquest. Inquests may

6667	6667	2 case may view the body of the deceased. If at any continuation
6668	6668	3 of an inquest one or more of the 6 jurors originally chosen
6669	6669	4 shall be unable to continue to serve, the medical examiner
6670	6670	5 coroner shall fill the vacancy or vacancies. At the medical
6671	6671	6 examiner's coroner's discretion, additional jurors to fill
6672	6672	7 such vacancies shall be supplied by the jury commission. A
6673	6673	8 juror serving pursuant to this paragraph in such county shall
6674	6674	9 receive compensation from the county at the same rate as the
6675	6675	10 rate of compensation that is paid to petit or grand jurors in
6676	6676	11 the county.
6677	6677	12 In every case in which a fire is determined to be a
6678	6678	13 contributing factor in a death, the medical examiner coroner
6679	6679	14 shall report the death to the Office of the State Fire Marshal.
6680	6680	15 The medical examiner coroner shall provide a copy of the death
6681	6681	16 certificate (i) within 30 days after filing the permanent
6682	6682	17 death certificate and (ii) in a manner that is agreed upon by
6683	6683	18 the medical examiner coroner and the State Fire Marshal.
6684	6684	19 In every case in which a drug overdose is determined to be
6685	6685	20 the cause or a contributing factor in the death, the coroner or
6686	6686	21 medical examiner shall report the death to the Department of
6687	6687	22 Public Health. The Department of Public Health shall adopt
6688	6688	23 rules regarding specific information that must be reported in
6689	6689	24 the event of such a death. If possible, the medical examiner
6690	6690	25 coroner shall report the cause of the overdose. As used in this

6706	6706	5 of overdose death figures organized by location, age, and any
6707	6707	6 other factors, the Department deems appropriate.
6708	6708	7 In addition, in every case in which domestic violence is
6709	6709	8 determined to be a contributing factor in a death, the medical
6710	6710	9 examiner coroner shall report the death to the Illinois State
6711	6711	10 Police.
6712	6712	11 All deaths in State institutions and all deaths of wards

6723	6723	22 negligent care of the ward of the State or youth in care as
6724	6724	23 defined in Section 4d of the Children and Family Services Act,

6759	6759	22 possible notify the next of kin of the decedent's death,
6760	6760	23 including the current location of the body. The notification

6775	6775	3 as a result of burns, decomposition, or other disfiguring
6776	6776	4 injuries or if the medical examiner is aware that the death is
6777	6777	5 the result of an accident that involved 2 or more individuals
6778	6778	6 who were approximately the same age, sex, height, weight, hair
6779	6779	7 color, eye color, and race, then the medical examiner shall
6780	6780	8 verify the identity of the decedent through fingerprints,
6781	6781	9 dental records, DNA, or other definitive identification
6782	6782	10 procedures and, if the accident resulted in the survival of
6783	6783	11 any individuals with the same attributes, shall notify the
6784	6784	12 respective hospital or institution of the medical examiner's
6785	6785	13 findings. The medical examiner may conduct an autopsy under
6786	6786	14 Section 3-3014 if the medical examiner determines that an
6787	6787	15 autopsy reasonably appears to be required pursuant to law.
6788	6788	16 After the medical examiner, a deputy medical examiner, or a
6789	6789	17 person from law enforcement has made a diligent effort to
6790	6790	18 locate and notify the next of kin and was unsuccessful in
6791	6791	19 notifying the next of kin, the medical examiner may order or

6793	6793	21 consent of the next of kin of the decedent.
6794	6794	22 (c) The medical examiner or a deputy medical examiner
6795	6795	23 shall keep a written record of the efforts to locate and notify
6796	6796	24 the next of kin for a period of one year from the date of the
6797	6797	25 autopsy.

6811	6811	4 regardless of whether the death occurred in a hospital or not,
6812	6812	5 and the medical examiner or the medical examiner's designee
6813	6813	6 has notice that the body is of an individual that was a donor
6814	6814	7 or that a gift of all or a part of the body has been designated
6815	6815	8 to be made under the Illinois Anatomical Gift Act or any other
6816	6816	9 law, the medical examiner or the medical examiner's designee
6817	6817	10 shall conduct the examination of the dead body within a time
6818	6818	11 period that permits organs, tissues, and eyes to remain viable
6819	6819	12 for transplant. If the medical examiner or the medical
6820	6820	13 examiner's designee is unable to conduct the investigation
6821	6821	14 within that period of time, a health professional or
6822	6822	15 technician who is authorized to remove an anatomical gift from
6823	6823	16 a donor may remove the donated organs, tissues, or eyes in
6824	6824	17 order to preserve the viability of the donated tissues or
6825	6825	18 organs for transplant upon notifying the medical examiner or
6826	6826	19 the medical examiner's designee. If the medical examiner or
6827	6827	20 the medical examiner's designee determines that an organ may
6828	6828	21 be related to the cause of death, the medical examiner or the
6829	6829	22 medical examiner's designee may do one or more of the
6830	6830	23 following:
6831	6831	24 (1) request to be present during the removal of the
6832	6832	25 donated organs; or

6881	6881	3 representatives of the decedent after an examination or
6882	6882	4 autopsy is performed under this Section. If there are no
6883	6883	5 relatives or representatives of the decedent that could be
6884	6884	6 located and notified by the medical examiner, the medical
6885	6885	7 examiner may have the body cremated as provided in Section
6886	6886	8 3-3017. A medical examiner may retain any portion of the body
6887	6887	9 that the medical examiner considers necessary to establish the
6888	6888	10 cause of death, the conditions contributing to death, or the
6889	6889	11 manner of death, or as evidence of any crime. If a portion of
6890	6890	12 the body retained is an entire organ or limb of the decedent,
6891	6891	13 the medical examiner shall attempt to verbally or in writing
6892	6892	14 notify the relatives or representatives of the decedent of
6893	6893	15 that retention and offer an opportunity for the relative or
6894	6894	16 representative to request the return of that organ or limb. If
6895	6895	17 notification is verbally made under this Section, the medical
6896	6896	18 examiner shall follow up with written notification. The

6951	6951	2 requires that an autopsy be performed, and it shall be the duty
6952	6952	3 and responsibility of the medical examiner coroner to cause an
6953	6953	4 autopsy to be performed, including the taking of x-rays and
6954	6954	5 the performance of other medical tests as the medical examiner
6955	6955	6 coroner deems appropriate.
6956	6956	7 (b) The medical examiner coroner shall instruct involved
6957	6957	8 parties that embalming of the body is not to be conducted until

6962	6962	13 coroners and pathologists with a child death autopsy protocol.
6963	6963	14 (c) If the medical examiner coroner determines it

6965	6965	16 autopsy or both, and the medical examiner coroner would have
6966	6966	17 been authorized under this Section to perform an investigation
6967	6967	18 or autopsy on the body before it was interred, the medical

6986	6986	2 (a) All autopsies conducted in this State shall include an
6987	6987	3 inquiry to determine whether the death was a direct result of a
6988	6988	4 seizure or epilepsy. If the findings in an autopsy of a medical
6989	6989	5 examiner or , examining physician, or coroner are consistent
6990	6990	6 with known or suspected sudden, unexpected death in epilepsy
6991	6991	7 (SUDEP), then the medical examiner or , examining physician, or
6992	6992	8 coroner shall:
6993	6993	9 (1) cause to be indicated on the death certificate
6994	6994	10 that SUDEP is the cause or suspected cause of death; and
6995	6995	11 (2) forward a copy of the death certificate to the

6998	6998	14 (b) For the purposes of this Section, "sudden, unexpected
6999	6999	15 death in epilepsy" refers to a death in a patient previously
7000	7000	16 diagnosed with epilepsy that is not due to trauma, drowning,
7001	7001	17 status epilepticus, or other known causes, but for which there
7002	7002	18 is often evidence of an associated seizure. A finding of
7003	7003	19 sudden, unexpected death in epilepsy is definite when clinical
7004	7004	20 criteria are met and autopsy reveals no alternative cause of
7005	7005	21 death, such as stroke, myocardial infarction, or drug
7006	7006	22 intoxication, although there may be evidence of a seizure.

7025	7025	6 for Disposition of Dead Human Body provided for in Section 21

9548	9548	6 shall include, but not be limited to, receiving reports of
9549	9549	7 alleged or suspected abuse, abandonment, neglect, financial

9557	9557	15 abandonment, or neglect that places an eligible adult at risk
9558	9558	16 of injury or death, a provider agency shall respond to the
9559	9559	17 report on an emergency basis in accordance with guidelines

9564	9564	22 abuse, abandonment, or neglect after hours and on weekends.
9565	9565	23 (c-5) Where a provider agency has reason to believe that
9566	9566	24 the death of an eligible adult may be the result of abuse,
9567	9567	25 abandonment, or neglect, including any reports made after
9568	9568	26 death, the agency shall immediately report the matter to both

9582	9582	4 enforcement agency and coroner or medical examiner to
9583	9583	5 determine whether any further action was taken. Upon request
9584	9584	6 by a provider agency, a law enforcement agency and coroner or
9585	9585	7 medical examiner shall supply a summary of its action in
9586	9586	8 response to a reported death of an eligible adult. A copy of

9589	9589	11 examiner shall be documented in the case record of the
9590	9590	12 eligible adult. If the law enforcement agency, coroner, or
9591	9591	13 medical examiner determines the reported death was caused by
9592	9592	14 abuse, abandonment, or neglect by a caregiver, the law
9593	9593	15 enforcement agency, coroner, or medical examiner shall inform
9594	9594	16 the Department, and the Department shall report the

9657	9657	8 the best interest of an eligible adult who is unable to seek
9658	9658	9 assistance for himself or herself and where there are
9659	9659	10 allegations against a caregiver who has assumed
9660	9660	11 responsibilities in exchange for compensation. If, after the
9661	9661	12 assessment, the provider agency determines that the case is
9662	9662	13 substantiated it shall develop a service care plan for the

10379	10379	14 Notwithstanding any other provision of this Act, if an
10380	10380	15 employee of a school district has made a report or caused a
10381	10381	16 report to be made to the Department under this Act involving
10382	10382	17 the conduct of a current or former employee of the school
10383	10383	18 district and a request is made by another school district for
10384	10384	19 the provision of information concerning the job performance or
10385	10385	20 qualifications of the current or former employee because he or
10386	10386	21 she is an applicant for employment with the requesting school
10387	10387	22 district, the general superintendent of the school district to
10388	10388	23 which the request is being made must disclose to the
10389	10389	24 requesting school district the fact that an employee of the
10390	10390	25 school district has made a report involving the conduct of the
10391	10391	26 applicant or caused a report to be made to the Department, as

10404	10404	3 applicant or caused a report to be made to the Department may
10405	10405	4 be disclosed by the general superintendent of the school
10406	10406	5 district to which the request for information concerning the
10407	10407	6 applicant is made, and this fact may be disclosed only in cases
10408	10408	7 where the employee and the general superintendent have not
10409	10409	8 been informed by the Department that the allegations were
10410	10410	9 unfounded. An employee of a school district who is or has been
10411	10411	10 the subject of a report made pursuant to this Act during his or
10412	10412	11 her employment with the school district must be informed by

10443	10443	6 or the forwarding of such report to the Department.
10444	10444	7 (f) In addition to the persons required to report

10518	10518	9 within the time frame of any other applicable State law that
10519	10519	10 governs training requirements for a specific profession, and
10520	10520	11 at least every 3 years thereafter. The initial requirement
10521	10521	12 only applies to the first time they engage in their
10522	10522	13 professional or official capacity. In lieu of training every 3
10523	10523	14 years, medical personnel, as listed in paragraph (1) of
10524	10524	15 subsection (a), must meet the requirements described in

10528	10528	19 following topics: (i) indicators for recognizing child abuse
10529	10529	20 and child neglect, as defined under this Act; (ii) the process
10530	10530	21 for reporting suspected child abuse and child neglect in
10531	10531	22 Illinois as required by this Act and the required
10532	10532	23 documentation; (iii) responding to a child in a

10552	10552	7 perceptions, actions, and decisions in an unconscious manner
10553	10553	8 and that exist and often contribute to unequal treatment of
10554	10554	9 people based on race, ethnicity, gender identity, sexual
10555	10555	10 orientation, age, disability, and other characteristics. The
10556	10556	11 implicit bias section shall provide tools to adjust automatic
10557	10557	12 patterns of thinking and ultimately eliminate discriminatory
10558	10558	13 behaviors. During these trainings mandated reporters shall
10559	10559	14 complete the following: (1) a pretest to assess baseline
10560	10560	15 implicit bias levels; (2) an implicit bias training task; and
10561	10561	16 (3) a posttest to reevaluate bias levels after training. The

10597	10597	16 Regulation or the State Board of Education, and his or her
10598	10598	17 profession has continuing education requirements, the training

10621	10621	4 call has been made.
10622	10622	5 (2) In lieu of repeated training, medical personnel, as
10623	10623	6 listed in paragraph (1) of subsection (a), who do not work with
10624	10624	7 children in their professional or official capacity, may

10626	10626	9 form that they understand they are a mandated reporter of
10627	10627	10 child abuse and neglect, that they are aware of the process for
10628	10628	11 making a report, that they know how to respond to a child in a

10630	10630	13 child protective services and the role of a reporter after a
10631	10631	14 call has been made. Nothing in this paragraph precludes
10632	10632	15 medical personnel from completing mandated reporter training

10656	10656	3 first violation and a Class 4 felony for a second or subsequent
10657	10657	4 violation; except that if the person acted as part of a plan or
10658	10658	5 scheme having as its object the prevention of discovery of an
10659	10659	6 abused or neglected child by lawful authorities for the
10660	10660	7 purpose of protecting or insulating any person or entity from
10661	10661	8 arrest or prosecution, the person is guilty of a Class 4 felony
10662	10662	9 for a first offense and a Class 3 felony for a second or
10663	10663	10 subsequent offense (regardless of whether the second or
10664	10664	11 subsequent offense involves any of the same facts or persons
10665	10665	12 as the first or other prior offense).
10666	10666	13 (n) A child whose parent, guardian or custodian in good
10667	10667	14 faith selects and depends upon spiritual means through prayer
10668	10668	15 alone for the treatment or cure of disease or remedial care may
10669	10669	16 be considered neglected or abused, but not for the sole reason
10670	10670	17 that his parent, guardian or custodian accepts and practices
10671	10671	18 such beliefs.
10672	10672	19 (o) A child shall not be considered neglected or abused
10673	10673	20 solely because the child is not attending school in accordance
10674	10674	21 with the requirements of Article 26 of the School Code, as
10675	10675	22 amended.
10676	10676	23 (p) Nothing in this Act prohibits a mandated reporter who
10677	10677	24 reasonably believes that an animal is being abused or
10678	10678	25 neglected in violation of the Humane Care for Animals Act from

11269	11269	14 after the time of death, as indicated on the Medical
11270	11270	15 Examiner's Medical Examiner's/Coroner's Certificate of Death.
11271	11271	16 In any death, the human remains shall not be cremated by the
11272	11272	17 crematory authority until a cremation permit has been received
11273	11273	18 from the coroner or medical examiner of the county in which the
11274	11274	19 death occurred and the crematory authority has received a
11275	11275	20 cremation authorization form, executed by an authorizing
11276	11276	21 agent, in accordance with the provisions of Section 15 of this
11277	11277	22 Act. In no instance, however, shall the lapse of time between
11278	11278	23 the death and the cremation be less than 24 hours, unless (i)

11292	11292	3 (ii) because of a religious requirement.
11293	11293	4 (b) Except as set forth in subsection (a) of this Section,
11294	11294	5 a crematory authority shall have the right to schedule the
11295	11295	6 actual cremation to be performed at its own convenience, at
11296	11296	7 any time after the human remains have been delivered to the
11297	11297	8 crematory authority, unless the crematory authority has
11298	11298	9 received specific instructions to the contrary on the
11299	11299	10 cremation authorization form.
11300	11300	11 (c) No crematory authority shall cremate human remains
11301	11301	12 when it has actual knowledge that human remains contain a
11302	11302	13 pacemaker or any other material or implant that may be
11303	11303	14 potentially hazardous to the person performing the cremation.
11304	11304	15 (d) No crematory authority shall refuse to accept human
11305	11305	16 remains for cremation because such human remains are not
11306	11306	17 embalmed.
11307	11307	18 (e) Whenever a crematory authority is unable or
11308	11308	19 unauthorized to cremate human remains immediately upon taking
11309	11309	20 custody of the remains, the crematory authority shall place
11310	11310	21 the human remains in a holding facility in accordance with the
11311	11311	22 crematory authority's rules and regulations. The crematory
11312	11312	23 authority must notify the authorizing agent of the reasons for
11313	11313	24 delay in cremation if a properly authorized cremation is not
11314	11314	25 performed within any time period expressly contemplated in the

11326	11326	1 (f) A crematory authority shall not accept a casket or
11327	11327	2 alternative container from which there is any evidence of the
11328	11328	3 leakage of body fluids.
11329	11329	4 (g) The casket or the alternative container shall be
11330	11330	5 cremated with the human remains or destroyed, unless the
11331	11331	6 crematory authority has notified the authorizing agent to the
11332	11332	7 contrary on the cremation authorization form and obtained the
11333	11333	8 written consent of the authorizing agent.
11334	11334	9 (h) The simultaneous cremation of the human remains of
11335	11335	10 more than one person within the same cremation chamber,
11336	11336	11 without the prior written consent of the authorizing agent, is
11337	11337	12 prohibited except for common cremation pursuant to Section
11338	11338	13 11.4 of the Hospital Licensing Act. Nothing in this
11339	11339	14 subsection, however, shall prevent the simultaneous cremation
11340	11340	15 within the same cremation chamber of body parts delivered to
11341	11341	16 the crematory authority from multiple sources, or the use of
11342	11342	17 cremation equipment that contains more than one cremation
11343	11343	18 chamber.
11344	11344	19 (i) No unauthorized person shall be permitted in the
11345	11345	20 holding facility or cremation room while any human remains are
11346	11346	21 being held there awaiting cremation, being cremated, or being
11347	11347	22 removed from the cremation chamber.
11348	11348	23 (j) A crematory authority shall not remove any dental
11349	11349	24 gold, body parts, organs, or any item of value prior to or
11350	11350	25 subsequent to a cremation without previously having received
11351	11351	26 specific written authorization from the authorizing agent and

11366	11366	5 (k) Upon the completion of each cremation, and insofar as
11367	11367	6 is practicable, all of the recoverable residue of the
11368	11368	7 cremation process shall be removed from the cremation chamber.
11369	11369	8 (l) If all of the recovered cremated remains will not fit
11370	11370	9 within the receptacle that has been selected, the remainder of
11371	11371	10 the cremated remains shall be returned to the authorizing
11372	11372	11 agent or the agent's designee in a separate container. The
11373	11373	12 crematory authority shall not return to an authorizing agent
11374	11374	13 or the agent's designee more or less cremated remains than
11375	11375	14 were removed from the cremation chamber.
11376	11376	15 (m) A crematory authority shall not knowingly represent to
11377	11377	16 an authorizing agent or the agent's designee that a temporary
11378	11378	17 container or urn contains the cremated remains of a specific
11379	11379	18 decedent when it does not.
11380	11380	19 (n) Cremated remains shall be shipped only by a method
11381	11381	20 that has an internal tracing system available and that
11382	11382	21 provides a receipt signed, in either paper or electronic
11383	11383	22 format, by the person accepting delivery.
11384	11384	23 (o) A crematory authority shall maintain an identification
11385	11385	24 system that shall ensure that it shall be able to identify the
11386	11386	25 human remains in its possession throughout all phases of the
11387	11387	26 cremation process.

11403	11403	6 without a hearing, simultaneously with the institution of
11404	11404	7 proceedings for a hearing provided for in this Act, if the
11405	11405	8 Comptroller finds that evidence in the Comptroller's
11406	11406	9 possession indicates that the licensee's continued practice
11407	11407	10 would constitute an imminent danger to the public. In the
11408	11408	11 event that the Comptroller summarily suspends the license of a
11409	11409	12 licensed crematory without a hearing, a hearing must be
11410	11410	13 commenced within 30 days after the suspension has occurred and
11411	11411	14 concluded as expeditiously as practical. In the event of a
11412	11412	15 summary suspension, the county coroner or medical examiner
11413	11413	16 responsible for the area where the crematory is located shall
11414	11414	17 make arrangements to dispose of any bodies in the suspended
11415	11415	18 licensee's possession after consulting with the authorizing
11416	11416	19 agents for those bodies.

13964	13964	15 non-custodial parent whose whereabouts are unknown shall
13965	13965	16 not deprive the court of jurisdiction to proceed with a
13966	13966	17 trial or a plea of delinquency by the minor. When a minor
13967	13967	18 has been detained or sheltered under Section 5-501 of this
13968	13968	19 Act and summons has not been served personally or by
13969	13969	20 certified mail within 20 days from the date of the order of

15645	15645	1 Section 10 as follows:
15646	15646	2 (740 ILCS 110/10) (from Ch. 91 1/2, par. 810)
15647	15647	3 Sec. 10. (a) Except as provided herein, in any civil,
15648	15648	4 criminal, administrative, or legislative proceeding, or in any
15649	15649	5 proceeding preliminary thereto, a recipient, and a therapist
15650	15650	6 on behalf and in the interest of a recipient, has the privilege
15651	15651	7 to refuse to disclose and to prevent the disclosure of the
15652	15652	8 recipient's record or communications.
15653	15653	9 (1) Records and communications may be disclosed in a
15654	15654	10 civil, criminal or administrative proceeding in which the
15655	15655	11 recipient introduces his mental condition or any aspect of
15656	15656	12 his services received for such condition as an element of
15657	15657	13 his claim or defense, if and only to the extent the court
15658	15658	14 in which the proceedings have been brought, or, in the
15659	15659	15 case of an administrative proceeding, the court to which
15660	15660	16 an appeal or other action for review of an administrative
15661	15661	17 determination may be taken, finds, after in camera
15662	15662	18 examination of testimony or other evidence, that it is
15663	15663	19 relevant, probative, not unduly prejudicial or
15664	15664	20 inflammatory, and otherwise clearly admissible; that other
15665	15665	21 satisfactory evidence is demonstrably unsatisfactory as
15666	15666	22 evidence of the facts sought to be established by such
15667	15667	23 evidence; and that disclosure is more important to the
15668	15668	24 interests of substantial justice than protection from
15669	15669	25 injury to the therapist-recipient relationship or to the

15681	15681	2 Except in a criminal proceeding in which the recipient,
15682	15682	3 who is accused in that proceeding, raises the defense of
15683	15683	4 insanity, no record or communication between a therapist
15684	15684	5 and a recipient shall be deemed relevant for purposes of
15685	15685	6 this subsection, except the fact of treatment, the cost of
15686	15686	7 services and the ultimate diagnosis unless the party
15687	15687	8 seeking disclosure of the communication clearly
15688	15688	9 establishes in the trial court a compelling need for its
15689	15689	10 production. However, for purposes of this Act, in any
15690	15690	11 action brought or defended under the Illinois Marriage and
15691	15691	12 Dissolution of Marriage Act, or in any action in which
15692	15692	13 pain and suffering is an element of the claim, mental
15693	15693	14 condition shall not be deemed to be introduced merely by
15694	15694	15 making such claim and shall be deemed to be introduced
15695	15695	16 only if the recipient or a witness on his behalf first
15696	15696	17 testifies concerning the record or communication.
15697	15697	18 (2) Records or communications may be disclosed in a
15698	15698	19 civil proceeding after the recipient's death when the
15699	15699	20 recipient's physical or mental condition has been
15700	15700	21 introduced as an element of a claim or defense by any party
15701	15701	22 claiming or defending through or as a beneficiary of the
15702	15702	23 recipient, provided the court finds, after in camera
15703	15703	24 examination of the evidence, that it is relevant,
15704	15704	25 probative, and otherwise clearly admissible; that other
15705	15705	26 satisfactory evidence is not available regarding the facts

15720	15720	5 (3) In the event of a claim made or an action filed by
15721	15721	6 a recipient, or, following the recipient's death, by any
15722	15722	7 party claiming as a beneficiary of the recipient for

15724	15724	9 recipient, the therapist and other persons whose actions
15725	15725	10 are alleged to have been the cause of injury may disclose
15726	15726	11 pertinent records and communications to an attorney or
15727	15727	12 attorneys engaged to render advice about and to provide
15728	15728	13 representation in connection with such matter and to

15736	15736	21 for good cause shown may, if otherwise relevant and
15737	15737	22 admissible, be disclosed in a civil, criminal, or
15738	15738	23 administrative proceeding in which the recipient is a
15739	15739	24 party or in appropriate pretrial proceedings, provided
15740	15740	25 such court has found that the recipient has been as

15757	15757	6 these are germane to such proceedings.
15758	15758	7 (5) Records and communications may be disclosed in a

15763	15763	12 (6) Records and communications may be disclosed to a

15766	15766	15 if the records were made within the 180-day period
15767	15767	16 immediately preceding the date of the therapist's,

15835	15835	12 with the power to consent to adoption under Section 2-29
15836	15836	13 of the Juvenile Court Act of 1987.
15837	15837	14 (12) Records and communications of a recipient may be

15839	15839	16 receive third party payment representing charges for
15840	15840	17 mental health or developmental disabilities services
15841	15841	18 provided by a therapist or agency to a recipient; however,
15842	15842	19 disclosure shall be limited to information needed to

15865	15865	6 request an in camera review of the record or communications to
15866	15866	7 be disclosed. The court or agency conducting the proceeding
15867	15867	8 may hold an in camera review on its own motion. When, contrary
15868	15868	9 to the express wish of the recipient, the therapist asserts a
15869	15869	10 privilege on behalf and in the interest of a recipient, the
15870	15870	11 court may require that the therapist, in an in camera hearing,
15871	15871	12 establish that disclosure is not in the best interest of the
15872	15872	13 recipient. The court or agency may prevent disclosure or limit
15873	15873	14 disclosure to the extent that other admissible evidence is
15874	15874	15 sufficient to establish the facts in issue. The court or
15875	15875	16 agency may enter such orders as may be necessary in order to
15876	15876	17 protect the confidentiality, privacy, and safety of the
15877	15877	18 recipient or of other persons. Any order to disclose or to not
15878	15878	19 disclose shall be considered a final order for purposes of
15879	15879	20 appeal and shall be subject to interlocutory appeal.
15880	15880	21 (c) A recipient's records and communications may be

16084	16084	11 on the donor's driver's license or identification card;
16085	16085	12 (2) in a will;
16086	16086	13 (3) during a terminal illness or injury of the donor,
16087	16087	14 by any form of communication addressed to at least 2
16088	16088	15 adults, at least one of whom is a disinterested witness;
16089	16089	16 or

16092	16092	19 (b) A donor or other person authorized to make an
16093	16093	20 anatomical gift under subsection (a) of Section 5-5 may make a
16094	16094	21 gift by a donor card or other record signed by the donor or

16111	16111	4 (1) be witnessed by at least 2 adults, at least one of
16112	16112	5 whom is a disinterested witness, who have signed at the

16119	16119	12 maintained by the Secretary of State under Section 6-117 of
16120	16120	13 the Illinois Vehicle Code. An individual's consent to have his

16122	16122	15 tissue donor registry constitutes full legal authority for the
16123	16123	16 donation of any of his or her organs or tissue for purposes of

16127	16127	20 signature of witnesses.

16129	16129	22 of a driver's license or identification card upon which an

16131	16131	24 (b-10) An anatomical gift made by will takes effect upon
16132	16132	25 the donor's death whether or not the will is probated.

16145	16145	2 (c) The anatomical gift may be made to a specified donee or
16146	16146	3 without specifying a donee. If the gift is made to a specified
16147	16147	4 donee who is not available at the time and place of death, then
16148	16148	5 if made for the purpose of transplantation, it shall be
16149	16149	6 effectuated in accordance with Section 5-25.
16150	16150	7 (d) The donee or other person authorized to accept the
16151	16151	8 gift pursuant to Section 5-12 may employ or authorize any
16152	16152	9 qualified technician, surgeon, or physician to perform the
16153	16153	10 recovery.
16154	16154	11 (e) A person authorized to make an anatomical gift under
16155	16155	12 subsection (b) of Section 5-5 may make an anatomical gift by a
16156	16156	13 document of gift signed by the person making the gift or by
16157	16157	14 that person's oral communication that is electronically
16158	16158	15 recorded or is contemporaneously reduced to a record and
16159	16159	16 signed by the individual receiving the oral communication.
16160	16160	17 (e-5) An anatomical gift by a person authorized under
16161	16161	18 subsection (b) of Section 5-5 may be amended or revoked orally
16162	16162	19 or in a record by a member of a prior class who is reasonably
16163	16163	20 available for the giving of authorization or refusal. If more
16164	16164	21 than one member of the prior class is reasonably available for
16165	16165	22 the giving of authorization or refusal, the gift made by a
16166	16166	23 person authorized under subsection (b) of Section 5-5 may be:
16167	16167	24 (1) amended only if a majority of the class members
16168	16168	25 reasonably available for the giving of authorization or
16169	16169	26 refusal agree to the amending of the gift; or

16181	16181	2 reasonably available for the giving of authorization or
16182	16182	3 refusal agree to the revoking of the gift or if they are
16183	16183	4 equally divided as to whether to revoke the gift.
16184	16184	5 (e-10) A revocation under subsection (e-5) is effective
16185	16185	6 only if, before an incision has been made to remove a part from
16186	16186	7 the donor's body or before invasive procedures have been
16187	16187	8 commenced to prepare the recipient, the procurement
16188	16188	9 organization, non-transplant anatomic bank, transplant
16189	16189	10 hospital, or physician or technician knows of the revocation.
16190	16190	11 (f) When there is a suitable candidate for organ donation
16191	16191	12 and a donation or consent to donate has not yet been given,
16192	16192	13 procedures to preserve the decedent's body for possible organ
16193	16193	14 and tissue donation may be implemented under the authorization
16194	16194	15 of the applicable organ procurement organization, at its own
16195	16195	16 expense, prior to making a donation request pursuant to
16196	16196	17 Section 5-25. If the organ procurement organization does not
16197	16197	18 locate a person authorized to consent to donation or consent
16198	16198	19 to donation is denied, then procedures to preserve the

16219	16219	4 (a) The donee may accept or reject the anatomical gift. If
16220	16220	5 the donee accepts a gift of the entire body, he may, subject to
16221	16221	6 the terms of the gift, authorize embalming and the use of the
16222	16222	7 body in funeral services, unless a person named in subsection
16223	16223	8 (b) of Section 5-5 has requested, prior to the final
16224	16224	9 disposition by the donee, that the remains of said body be
16225	16225	10 returned to his or her custody for the purpose of final
16226	16226	11 disposition. Such request shall be honored by the donee if the
16227	16227	12 terms of the gift are silent on how final disposition is to
16228	16228	13 take place. If the gift is of a part of the body, the donee or
16229	16229	14 technician designated by him upon the death of the donor and
16230	16230	15 prior to embalming, shall cause the part to be removed without
16231	16231	16 unnecessary mutilation and without undue delay in the release
16232	16232	17 of the body for the purposes of final disposition. After
16233	16233	18 removal of the part, custody of the remainder of the body vests
16234	16234	19 in the surviving spouse, next of kin, or other persons under
16235	16235	20 obligation to dispose of the body, in the order of priority
16236	16236	21 listed in subsection (b) of Section 5-5.
16237	16237	22 (b) The time of death shall be determined by a physician
16238	16238	23 who attends the donor at his death, or, if none, the physician
16239	16239	24 who certifies the death. The physician shall not participate
16240	16240	25 in the procedures for removing or transplanting a part.

16253	16253	3 Confidentiality Act, or the applicable anatomical gift law of
16254	16254	4 another state is not liable for the act in a civil action,

16256	16256	6 the person making an anatomical gift nor the donor's estate is
16257	16257	7 liable for any injury or damage that results from the making or
16258	16258	8 use of the gift. In determining whether an anatomical gift has
16259	16259	9 been made, amended, or revoked under this Act, a person may
16260	16260	10 rely upon representations of an individual listed in item (2),
16261	16261	11 (3), (4), (5), (6), (7), or (8) of subsection (b) of Section
16262	16262	12 5-5 relating to the individual's relationship to the donor or
16263	16263	13 prospective donor unless the person knows that the
16264	16264	14 representation is untrue. Any person that participates in good
16265	16265	15 faith and according to the usual and customary standards of
16266	16266	16 medical practice in the preservation, removal, or
16267	16267	17 transplantation of any part of a decedent's body pursuant to
16268	16268	18 an anatomical gift made by the decedent under Section 5-20 or

16271	16271	21 immunity from liability, civil, criminal, or otherwise, that
16272	16272	22 might result by reason of such actions. For the purpose of any
16273	16273	23 proceedings, civil or criminal, the validity of an anatomical
16274	16274	24 gift executed pursuant to Section 5-20 shall be presumed and

16296	16296	10 (e) If the donee is provided information, or determines
16297	16297	11 through independent examination, that there is evidence that
16298	16298	12 the anatomical gift was exposed to the human immunodeficiency
16299	16299	13 virus (HIV) or any other identified causative agent of
16300	16300	14 acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS), the donee may
16301	16301	15 reject the gift and shall treat the information and
16302	16302	16 examination results as a confidential medical record; the
16303	16303	17 donee may disclose only the results confirming HIV exposure,
16304	16304	18 and only to the physician of the deceased donor. The donor's
16305	16305	19 physician shall determine whether the person who executed the
16306	16306	20 gift should be notified of the confirmed positive test result.

16679	16679	8 and if the examination or travel to and from the place of
16680	16680	9 examination causes any loss of working time on the part of the
16681	16681	10 employee, the employer shall reimburse him for such loss of
16682	16682	11 wages upon the basis of his average daily wage. Such
16683	16683	12 examination shall be made in the presence of a duly qualified
16684	16684	13 medical practitioner or surgeon provided and paid for by the
16685	16685	14 employee, if such employee so desires.
16686	16686	15 In all cases where the examination is made by a physician
16687	16687	16 or surgeon engaged by the employer, and the employee has no

16714	16714	7 If the employee refuses so to submit himself to

16716	16716	9 compensation payment shall be temporarily suspended until such

16756	16756	13 interest files an application for adjustment of claim under
16757	16757	14 this Act, and it appears that an autopsy may disclose material
16758	16758	15 evidence as to whether or not such death was due to the
