148148 12 requirements.
149149 13 (1) (a) Any physician who intentionally performs an
150150 14 abortion when, in his or her medical judgment based on the
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
154154 18 utilize that method of abortion which, of those he or she knows

172172 1 recklessly violates Section 6(1)(a) commits a Class 3 felony.
173173 2 (2) (a) No abortion shall be performed or induced when the
174174 3 fetus is viable unless there is in attendance a physician
175175 4 other than the physician performing or inducing the abortion
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
183183 12 Section 10. Any physician who intentionally performs or
184184 13 induces such an abortion and who intentionally, knowingly, or
185185 14 recklessly fails to arrange for the attendance of such a
186186 15 second physician in violation of Section 6(2)(a) commits a
187187 16 Class 3 felony.

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:

10621062 23 (j-5) The Department shall not deny or delay the placement
10631063 24 of a child for adoption if an approved family is available

10771077 2 child who has been adjudicated neglected or abused, or
10781078 3 dependent committed to it pursuant to the Juvenile Court Act
10791079 4 or the Juvenile Court Act of 1987.
10801080 5 (l) The Department shall offer family preservation
10811081 6 services, as defined in Section 8.2 of the Abused and
10821082 7 Neglected Child Reporting Act, to help families, including
10831083 8 adoptive and extended families. Family preservation services
10841084 9 shall be offered (i) to prevent the placement of children in
10851085 10 substitute care when the children can be cared for at home or
10861086 11 in the custody of the person responsible for the children's
10871087 12 welfare, (ii) to reunite children with their families, or
10881088 13 (iii) to maintain an adoptive placement. Family preservation
10891089 14 services shall only be offered when doing so will not endanger
10901090 15 the children's health or safety. With respect to children who
10911091 16 are in substitute care pursuant to the Juvenile Court Act of
10921092 17 1987, family preservation services shall not be offered if a
10931093 18 goal other than those of paragraph subdivisions (A), (B), or
10941094 19 (B-1) of subsection (2) of Section 2-28 of that Act has been

10981098 23 create a private right of action or claim on the part of any
10991099 24 individual or child welfare agency, except that when a child
11001100 25 is the subject of an action under Article II of the Juvenile

11151115 4 services set out in the plan, if those services are not
11161116 5 provided with reasonable promptness and if those services are
11171117 6 available.
11181118 7 The Department shall notify the child and the child's
11191119 8 family of the Department's responsibility to offer and provide
11201120 9 family preservation services as identified in the service
11211121 10 plan. The child and the child's family shall be eligible for
11221122 11 services as soon as the report is determined to be
11231123 12 "indicated". The Department may offer services to any child or
11241124 13 family with respect to whom a report of suspected child abuse
11251125 14 or neglect has been filed, prior to concluding its
11261126 15 investigation under Section 7.12 of the Abused and Neglected
11271127 16 Child Reporting Act. However, the child's or family's
11281128 17 willingness to accept services shall not be considered in the
11291129 18 investigation. The Department may also provide services to any
11301130 19 child or family who is the subject of any report of suspected
11311131 20 child abuse or neglect or may refer such child or family to
11321132 21 services available from other agencies in the community, even
11331133 22 if the report is determined to be unfounded, if the conditions
11341134 23 in the child's or family's home are reasonably likely to
11351135 24 subject the child or family to future reports of suspected
11361136 25 child abuse or neglect. Acceptance of such services shall be

11521152 5 Reporting Act.
11531153 6 The Department may, at its discretion except for those
11541154 7 children also adjudicated neglected or dependent, accept for
11551155 8 care and training any child who has been adjudicated addicted,
11561156 9 as a truant minor in need of supervision or as a minor
11571157 10 requiring authoritative intervention, under the Juvenile Court
11581158 11 Act or the Juvenile Court Act of 1987, but no such child shall
11591159 12 be committed to the Department by any court without the
11601160 13 approval of the Department. On and after January 1, 2015 (the
11611161 14 effective date of Public Act 98-803) and before January 1,
11621162 15 2017, a minor charged with a criminal offense under the
11631163 16 Criminal Code of 1961 or the Criminal Code of 2012 or
11641164 17 adjudicated delinquent shall not be placed in the custody of
11651165 18 or committed to the Department by any court, except (i) a minor
11661166 19 less than 16 years of age committed to the Department under
11671167 20 Section 5-710 of the Juvenile Court Act of 1987, (ii) a minor
11681168 21 for whom an independent basis of abuse, neglect, or dependency
11691169 22 exists, which must be defined by departmental rule, or (iii) a
11701170 23 minor for whom the court has granted a supplemental petition

11871187 4 less than 15 years of age committed to the Department under
11881188 5 Section 5-710 of the Juvenile Court Act of 1987, (ii) a minor
11891189 6 for whom an independent basis of abuse, neglect, or dependency

11921192 9 to reinstate wardship pursuant to subsection (2) of Section
11931193 10 2-33 of the Juvenile Court Act of 1987. An independent basis
11941194 11 exists when the allegations or adjudication of abuse, neglect,
11951195 12 or dependency do not arise from the same facts, incident, or
11961196 13 circumstances which give rise to a charge or adjudication of
11971197 14 delinquency. The Department shall assign a caseworker to
11981198 15 attend any hearing involving a youth in the care and custody of
11991199 16 the Department who is placed on aftercare release, including
12001200 17 hearings involving sanctions for violation of aftercare
12011201 18 release conditions and aftercare release revocation hearings.
12021202 19 As soon as is possible after August 7, 2009 (the effective
12031203 20 date of Public Act 96-134), the Department shall develop and
12041204 21 implement a special program of family preservation services to
12051205 22 support intact, foster, and adoptive families who are
12061206 23 experiencing extreme hardships due to the difficulty and
12071207 24 stress of caring for a child who has been diagnosed with a
12081208 25 pervasive developmental disorder if the Department determines

12211221 2 family whether or not a report has been filed under the Abused
12221222 3 and Neglected Child Reporting Act. The Department may refer
12231223 4 the child or family to services available from other agencies
12241224 5 in the community if the conditions in the child's or family's
12251225 6 home are reasonably likely to subject the child or family to
12261226 7 future reports of suspected child abuse or neglect. Acceptance
12271227 8 of these services shall be voluntary. The Department shall
12281228 9 develop and implement a public information campaign to alert
12291229 10 health and social service providers and the general public
12301230 11 about these special family preservation services. The nature
12311231 12 and scope of the services offered and the number of families
12321232 13 served under the special program implemented under this
12331233 14 paragraph shall be determined by the level of funding that the
12341234 15 Department annually allocates for this purpose. The term
12351235 16 "pervasive developmental disorder" under this paragraph means
12361236 17 a neurological condition, including, but not limited to,
12371237 18 Asperger's Syndrome and autism, as defined in the most recent
12381238 19 edition of the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental
12391239 20 Disorders of the American Psychiatric Association.
12401240 21 (l-1) The General Assembly recognizes that the best
12411241 22 interests of the child require that the child be placed in the
12421242 23 most permanent living arrangement as soon as is practically
12431243 24 possible. To achieve this goal, the General Assembly directs
12441244 25 the Department of Children and Family Services to conduct
12451245 26 concurrent planning so that permanency may occur at the
12461246

12561256 1 earliest opportunity. Permanent living arrangements may
12571257 2 include prevention of placement of a child outside the home of
12581258 3 the family when the child can be cared for at home without
12591259 4 endangering the child's health or safety; reunification with
12601260 5 the family, when safe and appropriate, if temporary placement
12611261 6 is necessary; or movement of the child toward the most
12621262 7 permanent living arrangement and permanent legal status.
12631263 8 When determining reasonable efforts to be made with
12641264 9 respect to a child, as described in this subsection, and in
12651265 10 making such reasonable efforts, the child's health and safety
12661266 11 shall be the paramount concern.
12671267 12 When a child is placed in foster care, the Department
12681268 13 shall ensure and document that reasonable efforts were made to
12691269 14 prevent or eliminate the need to remove the child from the
12701270 15 child's home. The Department must make reasonable efforts to
12711271 16 reunify the family when temporary placement of the child
12721272 17 occurs unless otherwise required, pursuant to the Juvenile
12731273 18 Court Act of 1987. At any time after the dispositional hearing
12741274 19 where the Department believes that further reunification
12751275 20 services would be ineffective, it may request a finding from
12761276 21 the court that reasonable efforts are no longer appropriate.
12771277 22 The Department is not required to provide further
12781278 23 reunification services after such a finding.
12791279 24 A decision to place a child in substitute care shall be
12801280 25 made with considerations of the child's health, safety, and
12811281 26 best interests. At the time of placement, consideration should

12931293 2 placement made is the best available placement to provide
12941294 3 permanency for the child.
12951295 4 The Department shall adopt rules addressing concurrent
12961296 5 planning for reunification and permanency. The Department
12971297 6 shall consider the following factors when determining
12981298 7 appropriateness of concurrent planning:
12991299 8 (1) the likelihood of prompt reunification;
13001300 9 (2) the past history of the family;
13011301 10 (3) the barriers to reunification being addressed by
13021302 11 the family;
13031303 12 (4) the level of cooperation of the family;
13041304 13 (5) the foster parents' willingness to work with the
13051305 14 family to reunite;
13061306 15 (6) the willingness and ability of the foster family
13071307 16 to provide an adoptive home or long-term placement;
13081308 17 (7) the age of the child;
13091309 18 (8) placement of siblings.
13101310 19 (m) The Department may assume temporary custody of any
13111311 20 child if:
13121312 21 (1) it has received a written consent to such
13131313 22 temporary custody signed by the parents of the child or by
13141314 23 the parent having custody of the child if the parents are
13151315 24 not living together or by the guardian or custodian of the

13291329 2 parent, guardian nor custodian of the child can be
13301330 3 located.
13311331 4 If the child is found in the child's residence without a
13321332 5 parent, guardian, custodian, or responsible caretaker, the
13331333 6 Department may, instead of removing the child and assuming
13341334 7 temporary custody, place an authorized representative of the
13351335 8 Department in that residence until such time as a parent,
13361336 9 guardian, or custodian enters the home and expresses a
13371337 10 willingness and apparent ability to ensure the child's health
13381338 11 and safety and resume permanent charge of the child, or until a
13391339 12 relative enters the home and is willing and able to ensure the
13401340 13 child's health and safety and assume charge of the child until
13411341 14 a parent, guardian, or custodian enters the home and expresses
13421342 15 such willingness and ability to ensure the child's safety and
13431343 16 resume permanent charge. After a caretaker has remained in the
13441344 17 home for a period not to exceed 12 hours, the Department must
13451345 18 follow those procedures outlined in Section 2-9, 3-11, 4-8, or
13461346 19 5-415 of the Juvenile Court Act of 1987.
13471347 20 The Department shall have the authority, responsibilities
13481348 21 and duties that a legal custodian of the child would have
13491349 22 pursuant to subsection (9) of Section 1-3 of the Juvenile
13501350 23 Court Act of 1987. Whenever a child is taken into temporary
13511351 24 custody pursuant to an investigation under the Abused and

13681368 5 authority, responsibilities and duties that a legal custodian
13691369 6 of the child would have under subsection (9) of Section 1-3 of
13701370 7 the Juvenile Court Act of 1987.
13711371 8 The Department shall ensure that any child taken into
13721372 9 custody is scheduled for an appointment for a medical
13731373 10 examination.
13741374 11 A parent, guardian, or custodian of a child in the

13761376 13 the child if the child were not in the temporary custody of the
13771377 14 Department may deliver to the Department a signed request that
13781378 15 the Department surrender the temporary custody of the child.
13791379 16 The Department may retain temporary custody of the child for
13801380 17 10 days after the receipt of the request, during which period
13811381 18 the Department may cause to be filed a petition pursuant to the
13821382 19 Juvenile Court Act of 1987. If a petition is so filed, the
13831383 20 Department shall retain temporary custody of the child until
13841384 21 the court orders otherwise. If a petition is not filed within
13851385 22 the 10-day period, the child shall be surrendered to the
13861386 23 custody of the requesting parent, guardian, or custodian not
13871387 24 later than the expiration of the 10-day period, at which time
13881388 25 the authority and duties of the Department with respect to the
13891389 26 temporary custody of the child shall terminate.

14001400 1 (m-1) The Department may place children under 18 years of
14011401 2 age in a secure child care facility licensed by the Department
14021402 3 that cares for children who are in need of secure living
14031403 4 arrangements for their health, safety, and well-being after a
14041404 5 determination is made by the facility director and the
14051405 6 Director or the Director's designate prior to admission to the
14061406 7 facility subject to Section 2-27.1 of the Juvenile Court Act
14071407 8 of 1987. This subsection (m-1) does not apply to a child who is
14081408 9 subject to placement in a correctional facility operated
14091409 10 pursuant to Section 3-15-2 of the Unified Code of Corrections,
14101410 11 unless the child is a youth in care who was placed in the care
14111411 12 of the Department before being subject to placement in a
14121412 13 correctional facility and a court of competent jurisdiction
14131413 14 has ordered placement of the child in a secure care facility.
14141414 15 (n) The Department may place children under 18 years of
14151415 16 age in licensed child care facilities when in the opinion of
14161416 17 the Department, appropriate services aimed at family
14171417 18 preservation have been unsuccessful and cannot ensure the
14181418 19 child's health and safety or are unavailable and such
14191419 20 placement would be for their best interest. Payment for board,
14201420 21 clothing, care, training and supervision of any child placed
14211421 22 in a licensed child care facility may be made by the
14221422 23 Department, by the parents or guardians of the estates of
14231423 24 those children, or by both the Department and the parents or

14381438 3 maintaining and of caring for a child in institutions for
14391439 4 dependent or neglected children operated by the Department.
14401440 5 However, such restriction on payments does not apply in cases
14411441 6 where children require specialized care and treatment for
14421442 7 problems of severe emotional disturbance, physical disability,
14431443 8 social adjustment, or any combination thereof and suitable
14441444 9 facilities for the placement of such children are not
14451445 10 available at payment rates within the limitations set forth in
14461446 11 this Section. All reimbursements for services delivered shall
14471447 12 be absolutely inalienable by assignment, sale, attachment, or
14481448 13 garnishment or otherwise.
14491449 14 (n-1) The Department shall provide or authorize child
14501450 15 welfare services, aimed at assisting minors to achieve
14511451 16 sustainable self-sufficiency as independent adults, for any
14521452 17 minor eligible for the reinstatement of wardship pursuant to
14531453 18 subsection (2) of Section 2-33 of the Juvenile Court Act of
14541454 19 1987, whether or not such reinstatement is sought or allowed,
14551455 20 provided that the minor consents to such services and has not
14561456 21 yet attained the age of 21. The Department shall have
14571457 22 responsibility for the development and delivery of services
14581458 23 under this Section. An eligible youth may access services
14591459 24 under this Section through the Department of Children and
14601460 25 Family Services or by referral from the Department of Human
14611461 26 Services. Youth participating in services under this Section

14721472 1 shall cooperate with the assigned case manager in developing
14731473 2 an agreement identifying the services to be provided and how
14741474 3 the youth will increase skills to achieve self-sufficiency. A
14751475 4 homeless shelter is not considered appropriate housing for any
14761476 5 youth receiving child welfare services under this Section. The
14771477 6 Department shall continue child welfare services under this
14781478 7 Section to any eligible minor until the minor becomes 21 years
14791479 8 of age, no longer consents to participate, or achieves
14801480 9 self-sufficiency as identified in the minor's service plan.
14811481 10 The Department of Children and Family Services shall create
14821482 11 clear, readable notice of the rights of former foster youth to
14831483 12 child welfare services under this Section and how such
14841484 13 services may be obtained. The Department of Children and
14851485 14 Family Services and the Department of Human Services shall
14861486 15 disseminate this information statewide. The Department shall
14871487 16 adopt regulations describing services intended to assist
14881488 17 minors in achieving sustainable self-sufficiency as
14891489 18 independent adults.
14901490 19 (o) The Department shall establish an administrative
14911491 20 review and appeal process for children and families who
14921492 21 request or receive child welfare services from the Department.
14931493 22 Youth in care who are placed by private child welfare
14941494 23 agencies, and foster families with whom those youth are
14951495 24 placed, shall be afforded the same procedural and appeal
14961496 25 rights as children and families in the case of placement by the
14971497 26 Department, including the right to an initial review of a

15081508 1 private agency decision by that agency. The Department shall
15091509 2 ensure that any private child welfare agency, which accepts
15101510 3 youth in care for placement, affords those rights to children
15111511 4 and foster families. The Department shall accept for
15121512 5 administrative review and an appeal hearing a complaint made
15131513 6 by (i) a child or foster family concerning a decision
15141514 7 following an initial review by a private child welfare agency
15151515 8 or (ii) a prospective adoptive parent who alleges a violation
15161516 9 of subsection (j-5) of this Section. An appeal of a decision
15171517 10 concerning a change in the placement of a child shall be
15181518 11 conducted in an expedited manner. A court determination that a
15191519 12 current foster home placement is necessary and appropriate
15201520 13 under Section 2-28 of the Juvenile Court Act of 1987 does not
15211521 14 constitute a judicial determination on the merits of an
15221522 15 administrative appeal, filed by a former foster parent,
15231523 16 involving a change of placement decision.
15241524 17 (p) (Blank).
15251525 18 (q) The Department may receive and use, in their entirety,
15261526 19 for the benefit of children any gift, donation, or bequest of
15271527 20 money or other property which is received on behalf of such
15281528 21 children, or any financial benefits to which such children are
15291529 22 or may become entitled while under the jurisdiction or care of
15301530 23 the Department, except that the benefits described in Section
15311531 24 5.46 must be used and conserved consistent with the provisions
15321532 25 under Section 5.46.

15521552 9 be credited to the account, unless disbursed in accordance
15531553 10 with this subsection.
15541554 11 In disbursing funds from children's accounts, the
15551555 12 Department shall:
15561556 13 (1) Establish standards in accordance with State and
15571557 14 federal laws for disbursing money from children's

15591559 16 Guardianship Administrator or the Guardianship
15601560 17 Administrator's designee must approve disbursements from
15611561 18 children's accounts. The Department shall be responsible
15621562 19 for keeping complete records of all disbursements for each
15631563 20 account for any purpose.
15641564 21 (2) Calculate on a monthly basis the amounts paid from

15921592 13 hard-to-place child or child with a disability and the names
15931593 14 of such children who have not been placed for adoption. A list
15941594 15 of such names and addresses shall be maintained by the
15951595 16 Department or its agent, and coded lists which maintain the
15961596 17 confidentiality of the person seeking to adopt the child and
15971597 18 of the child shall be made available, without charge, to every
15981598 19 adoption agency in the State to assist the agencies in placing
15991599 20 such children for adoption. The Department may delegate to an
16001600 21 agent its duty to maintain and make available such lists. The
16011601 22 Department shall ensure that such agent maintains the
16021602 23 confidentiality of the person seeking to adopt the child and

16241624 9 from the General Revenue Fund, specifically designated for
16251625 10 such purposes.
16261626 11 (t) The Department shall perform home studies and
16271627 12 investigations and shall exercise supervision over visitation
16281628 13 as ordered by a court pursuant to the Illinois Marriage and
16291629 14 Dissolution of Marriage Act or the Adoption Act only if:

26692669 15 examiner shall cause blood and buccal specimens (tissue may be
26702670 16 submitted if no uncontaminated blood or buccal specimen can be
26712671 17 obtained), whenever possible, to be withdrawn from the body of

26772677 23 medical examiner shall release those specimens to the police
26782678 24 agency responsible for investigating the death. As soon as

27032703 13 to provide during the conduct of a criminal investigation.
27042704 14 In all counties, in cases of apparent suicide, homicide,
27052705 15 or accidental death or in other cases, within the discretion
27062706 16 of the coroner, the coroner may summon 8 persons of lawful age
27072707 17 from those persons drawn for petit jurors in the county. The
27082708 18 summons shall command these persons to present themselves
27092709 19 personally at such a place and time as the coroner shall
27102710 20 determine, and may be in any form which the coroner shall
27112711 21 determine and may incorporate any reasonable form of request
27122712 22 for acknowledgment which the coroner deems practical and
27132713 23 provides a reliable proof of service. The summons may be

27312731 5 juror serving pursuant to this paragraph shall receive
27322732 6 compensation from the county at the same rate as the rate of
27332733 7 compensation that is paid to petit or grand jurors in the
27342734 8 county. The coroner shall furnish to each juror without fee at
27352735 9 the time of his discharge a certificate of the number of days
27362736 10 in attendance at an inquest, and, upon being presented with
27372737 11 such certificate, the county treasurer shall pay to the juror

27392739 13 In counties which have a jury commission, in cases of
27402740 14 apparent suicide or homicide or of accidental death, the
27412741 15 coroner may conduct an inquest. The jury commission shall
27422742 16 provide at least 8 jurors to the coroner, from whom the coroner
27432743 17 shall select any 6 to serve as the jury for the inquest.
27442744 18 Inquests may be continued from time to time as the coroner may

37753775 17 practice only upon the entry of a Departmental order based
37763776 18 upon a finding by the Medical Board that the person has been

37983798 4 The Department, upon the recommendation of the Medical
37993799 5 Board, shall adopt rules which set forth standards to be used
38003800 6 in determining:
38013801 7 (a) when a person will be deemed sufficiently
38023802 8 rehabilitated to warrant the public trust;
38033803 9 (b) what constitutes dishonorable, unethical, or
38043804 10 unprofessional conduct of a character likely to deceive,
38053805 11 defraud, or harm the public;
38063806 12 (c) what constitutes immoral conduct in the commission
38073807 13 of any act, including, but not limited to, commission of
38083808 14 an act of sexual misconduct related to the licensee's
38093809 15 practice; and
38103810 16 (d) what constitutes gross negligence in the practice
38113811 17 of medicine.
38123812 18 However, no such rule shall be admissible into evidence in
38133813 19 any civil action except for review of a licensing or other
38143814 20 disciplinary action under this Act.
38153815 21 In enforcing this Section, the Medical Board, upon a
38163816 22 showing of a possible violation, may compel any individual who
38173817 23 is licensed to practice under this Act or holds a permit to

38353835 5 its branches or, if applicable, the multidisciplinary team
38363836 6 involved in providing the mental or physical examination and
38373837 7 evaluation, or both. The multidisciplinary team shall be led
38383838 8 by a physician licensed to practice medicine in all of its

38883888 22 without hearing, until such time as the individual submits to

39143914 12 whether the licensee shall have his or her license suspended

39163916 14 instances in which the Secretary immediately suspends a
39173917 15 license under this Section, a hearing upon such person's
39183918 16 license must be convened by the Medical Board within 15 days
39193919 17 after such suspension and completed without appreciable delay.

39453945 7 violation of this Act. Fines may be imposed in conjunction

39923992 18 service, so long as the care was not unlawful under the
