143	143	7 Section 10, the medical indications which, in his or her
144	144	8 medical judgment based on the particular facts of the case

147	147	11 Section 6. Abortion methods, restrictions, and
148	148	12 requirements.
149	149	13 (1) (a) Any physician who intentionally performs an
150	150	14 abortion when, in his or her medical judgment based on the
151	151	15 particular facts of the case before him or her, there is a
152	152	16 reasonable likelihood of sustained survival of the fetus
153	153	17 outside the womb, with or without artificial support, shall
154	154	18 utilize that method of abortion which, of those he or she knows
155	155	19 to be available, is in his or her medical judgment most likely
156	156	20 to preserve the life and health of the fetus.
157	157	21 (b) The physician shall certify in writing, on a form
158	158	22 prescribed by the Department under Section 10, the available
159	159	23 methods considered and the reasons for choosing the method

172	172	1 recklessly violates Section 6(1)(a) commits a Class 3 felony.
173	173	2 (2) (a) No abortion shall be performed or induced when the
174	174	3 fetus is viable unless there is in attendance a physician

176	176	5 who shall take control of and provide immediate medical care
177	177	6 for any child born alive as a result of the abortion. This
178	178	7 requirement shall not apply when, in the medical judgment of
179	179	8 the physician performing or inducing the abortion based on the
180	180	9 particular facts of the case before him or her, there exists a
181	181	10 medical emergency; in such a case, the physician shall
182	182	11 describe the basis of this judgment on the form prescribed by
183	183	12 Section 10. Any physician who intentionally performs or
184	184	13 induces such an abortion and who intentionally, knowingly, or
185	185	14 recklessly fails to arrange for the attendance of such a

189	189	18 the physician required by Section 6(2)(a) to be in attendance
190	190	19 shall exercise the same degree of professional skill, care,
191	191	20 and diligence to preserve the life and health of the child as
192	192	21 would be required of a physician providing immediate medical
193	193	22 care to a child born alive in the course of a pregnancy
194	194	23 termination which was not an abortion. Any such physician who
195	195	24 intentionally, knowingly, or recklessly violates Section
196	196	25 6(2)(b) commits a Class 3 felony.

211	211	4 (4) (a) Any physician who intentionally performs an
212	212	5 abortion when, in his or her medical judgment based on the
213	213	6 particular facts of the case before him or her, there is a
214	214	7 reasonable possibility of sustained survival of the fetus
215	215	8 outside the womb, with or without artificial support, shall
216	216	9 utilize that method of abortion which, of those he or she knows
217	217	10 to be available, is in his or her medical judgment most likely
218	218	11 to preserve the life and health of the fetus.
219	219	12 (b) The physician shall certify in writing, on a form
220	220	13 prescribed by the Department under Section 10, the available
221	221	14 methods considered and the reasons for choosing the method
222	222	15 employed.
223	223	16 (c) Any physician who intentionally, knowingly, or
224	224	17 recklessly violates the provisions of Section 6(4)(a) commits
225	225	18 a Class 3 felony.
226	226	19 (5) Nothing in Section 6 requires a physician to employ a
227	227	20 method of abortion which, in the medical judgment of the
228	228	21 physician performing the abortion based on the particular
229	229	22 facts of the case before him or her, would increase medical
230	230	23 risk to the mother.
231	231	24 (6) When the fetus is viable and when there exists
232	232	25 reasonable medical certainty (a) that the particular method of
233	233	26 abortion to be employed will cause organic pain to the fetus,

245	245	2 alleviate organic pain to the fetus caused by the particular
246	246	3 method of abortion to be employed, then the physician who is to
247	247	4 perform the abortion or his or her agent or the referring
248	248	5 physician or his or her agent shall inform the woman upon whom
249	249	6 the abortion is to be performed that such an anesthetic or
250	250	7 analgesic is available, if he or she knows it to be available,
251	251	8 for use to abolish or alleviate organic pain caused to the
252	252	9 fetus by the particular method of abortion to be employed. Any
253	253	10 person who performs an abortion with knowledge that any such
254	254	11 reasonable medical certainty exists and that such an
255	255	12 anesthetic or analgesic is available, and intentionally fails
256	256	13 to so inform the woman or to ascertain that the woman has been
257	257	14 so informed commits a Class B misdemeanor. The foregoing
258	258	15 requirements of this subsection shall not apply (a) when in
259	259	16 the medical judgment of the physician who is to perform the
260	260	17 abortion or the referring physician based upon the particular
261	261	18 facts of the case before him or her (i) there exists a medical
262	262	19 emergency or (ii) the administration of such an anesthetic or
263	263	20 analgesic would decrease a possibility of sustained survival
264	264	21 of the fetus apart from the body of the mother, with or without
265	265	22 artificial support, or (b) when the physician who is to
266	266	23 perform the abortion administers an anesthetic or an analgesic
267	267	24 to the woman or the fetus and he or she knows there exists
268	268	25 reasonable medical certainty that such use will abolish

281	281	2 (7) No person shall sell or experiment upon a fetus
282	282	3 produced by the fertilization of a human ovum by a human sperm
283	283	4 unless such experimentation is therapeutic to the fetus
284	284	5 thereby produced. Intentional violation of this section is a
285	285	6 Class A misdemeanor. Nothing in this subsection is intended to
286	286	7 prohibit the performance of in vitro fertilization.
287	287	8 (8) No person shall intentionally perform an abortion with
288	288	9 knowledge that the pregnant woman is seeking the abortion
289	289	10 solely on account of the sex of the fetus. Nothing in this
290	290	11 subsection shall be construed to proscribe the performance of
291	291	12 an abortion on account of the sex of the fetus because of a
292	292	13 genetic disorder linked to that sex. If the application of
293	293	14 this subsection to the period of pregnancy prior to viability
294	294	15 is held invalid, then such invalidity shall not affect its
295	295	16 application to the period of pregnancy subsequent to
296	296	17 viability.
297	297	18 Section 10. Report and form. A report of each abortion
298	298	19 performed shall be made to the Department on forms prescribed
299	299	20 by it. Such report forms shall not identify the patient by
300	300	21 name, but by an individual number to be noted in the patient's
301	301	22 permanent record in the possession of the physician, and shall
302	302	23 include information concerning:

563	563	6 "Partial-birth abortion" means an abortion in which the
564	564	7 person performing the abortion partially vaginally delivers a
565	565	8 living human fetus or infant before killing the fetus or

572	572	15 felony. This Section does not apply to a partial-birth
573	573	16 abortion that is necessary to save the life of a mother because
574	574	17 her life is endangered by a physical disorder, physical
575	575	18 illness, or physical injury, including a life-endangering
576	576	19 condition caused by or arising from the pregnancy itself,

591	591	2 18 years at the time of the abortion, may in a civil action
592	592	3 obtain appropriate relief unless the pregnancy resulted from

594	594	5 the abortion. The relief shall include money damages for all
595	595	6 injuries, psychological and physical, occasioned by the
596	596	7 violation of this Act and statutory damages equal to 3 times
597	597	8 the cost of the partial-birth abortion.

1046	1046	7 of the new adoption of the child by another adoptive parent or
1047	1047	8 parents. The Department may also provide categories of
1048	1048	9 financial assistance and education assistance grants, and
1049	1049	10 shall establish rules and regulations for the assistance and
1050	1050	11 grants, to persons appointed guardian of the person under
1051	1051	12 Section 5-7 of the Juvenile Court Act or Section 2-27, 3-28,
1052	1052	13 4-25, or 5-740 of the Juvenile Court Act of 1987 for children
1053	1053	14 who were youth in care for 12 months immediately prior to the

1055	1055	16 The amount of assistance may vary, depending upon the
1056	1056	17 needs of the child and the adoptive parents, as set forth in
1057	1057	18 the annual assistance agreement. Special purpose grants are

1087	1087	12 adoptive and extended families. Family preservation services
1088	1088	13 shall be offered (i) to prevent the placement of children in
1089	1089	14 substitute care when the children can be cared for at home or
1090	1090	15 in the custody of the person responsible for the children's
1091	1091	16 welfare, (ii) to reunite children with their families, or
1092	1092	17 (iii) to maintain an adoptive placement. Family preservation
1093	1093	18 services shall only be offered when doing so will not endanger
1094	1094	19 the children's health or safety. With respect to children who
1095	1095	20 are in substitute care pursuant to the Juvenile Court Act of
1096	1096	21 1987, family preservation services shall not be offered if a
1097	1097	22 goal other than those of paragraph subdivisions (A), (B), or
1098	1098	23 (B-1) of subsection (2) of Section 2-28 of that Act has been

1117	1117	6 court hearing the action under Article II of the Juvenile

1120	1120	9 provided with reasonable promptness and if those services are
1121	1121	10 available.
1122	1122	11 The Department shall notify the child and the child's
1123	1123	12 family of the Department's responsibility to offer and provide
1124	1124	13 family preservation services as identified in the service
1125	1125	14 plan. The child and the child's family shall be eligible for
1126	1126	15 services as soon as the report is determined to be
1127	1127	16 "indicated". The Department may offer services to any child or
1128	1128	17 family with respect to whom a report of suspected child abuse
1129	1129	18 or neglect has been filed, prior to concluding its
1130	1130	19 investigation under Section 7.12 of the Abused and Neglected
1131	1131	20 Child Reporting Act. However, the child's or family's
1132	1132	21 willingness to accept services shall not be considered in the
1133	1133	22 investigation. The Department may also provide services to any
1134	1134	23 child or family who is the subject of any report of suspected
1135	1135	24 child abuse or neglect or may refer such child or family to
1136	1136	25 services available from other agencies in the community, even

1152	1152	5 child or family after completion of a family assessment, as an
1153	1153	6 alternative to an investigation, as provided under the
1154	1154	7 "differential response program" provided for in subsection

1157	1157	10 The Department may, at its discretion except for those
1158	1158	11 children also adjudicated neglected or dependent, accept for
1159	1159	12 care and training any child who has been adjudicated addicted,
1160	1160	13 as a truant minor in need of supervision or as a minor
1161	1161	14 requiring authoritative intervention, under the Juvenile Court
1162	1162	15 Act or the Juvenile Court Act of 1987, but no such child shall
1163	1163	16 be committed to the Department by any court without the
1164	1164	17 approval of the Department. On and after January 1, 2015 (the
1165	1165	18 effective date of Public Act 98-803) and before January 1,
1166	1166	19 2017, a minor charged with a criminal offense under the

1191	1191	8 less than 15 years of age committed to the Department under
1192	1192	9 Section 5-710 of the Juvenile Court Act of 1987, (ii) a minor
1193	1193	10 for whom an independent basis of abuse, neglect, or dependency

1196	1196	13 to reinstate wardship pursuant to subsection (2) of Section
1197	1197	14 2-33 of the Juvenile Court Act of 1987. An independent basis
1198	1198	15 exists when the allegations or adjudication of abuse, neglect,
1199	1199	16 or dependency do not arise from the same facts, incident, or
1200	1200	17 circumstances which give rise to a charge or adjudication of
1201	1201	18 delinquency. The Department shall assign a caseworker to
1202	1202	19 attend any hearing involving a youth in the care and custody of
1203	1203	20 the Department who is placed on aftercare release, including
1204	1204	21 hearings involving sanctions for violation of aftercare

1206	1206	23 As soon as is possible after August 7, 2009 (the effective

1222	1222	3 pervasive developmental disorder if the Department determines
1223	1223	4 that those services are necessary to ensure the health and
1224	1224	5 safety of the child. The Department may offer services to any
1225	1225	6 family whether or not a report has been filed under the Abused
1226	1226	7 and Neglected Child Reporting Act. The Department may refer
1227	1227	8 the child or family to services available from other agencies
1228	1228	9 in the community if the conditions in the child's or family's
1229	1229	10 home are reasonably likely to subject the child or family to
1230	1230	11 future reports of suspected child abuse or neglect. Acceptance
1231	1231	12 of these services shall be voluntary. The Department shall
1232	1232	13 develop and implement a public information campaign to alert
1233	1233	14 health and social service providers and the general public
1234	1234	15 about these special family preservation services. The nature
1235	1235	16 and scope of the services offered and the number of families
1236	1236	17 served under the special program implemented under this
1237	1237	18 paragraph shall be determined by the level of funding that the
1238	1238	19 Department annually allocates for this purpose. The term
1239	1239	20 "pervasive developmental disorder" under this paragraph means
1240	1240	21 a neurological condition, including, but not limited to,
1241	1241	22 Asperger's Syndrome and autism, as defined in the most recent

1243	1243	24 Disorders of the American Psychiatric Association.
1244	1244	25 (l-1) The General Assembly recognizes that the best

1256	1256	1 most permanent living arrangement as soon as is practically
1257	1257	2 possible. To achieve this goal, the General Assembly directs
1258	1258	3 the Department of Children and Family Services to conduct
1259	1259	4 concurrent planning so that permanency may occur at the
1260	1260	5 earliest opportunity. Permanent living arrangements may
1261	1261	6 include prevention of placement of a child outside the home of
1262	1262	7 the family when the child can be cared for at home without
1263	1263	8 endangering the child's health or safety; reunification with
1264	1264	9 the family, when safe and appropriate, if temporary placement
1265	1265	10 is necessary; or movement of the child toward the most
1266	1266	11 permanent living arrangement and permanent legal status.
1267	1267	12 When determining reasonable efforts to be made with
1268	1268	13 respect to a child, as described in this subsection, and in
1269	1269	14 making such reasonable efforts, the child's health and safety
1270	1270	15 shall be the paramount concern.
1271	1271	16 When a child is placed in foster care, the Department
1272	1272	17 shall ensure and document that reasonable efforts were made to
1273	1273	18 prevent or eliminate the need to remove the child from the
1274	1274	19 child's home. The Department must make reasonable efforts to
1275	1275	20 reunify the family when temporary placement of the child
1276	1276	21 occurs unless otherwise required, pursuant to the Juvenile
1277	1277	22 Court Act of 1987. At any time after the dispositional hearing
1278	1278	23 where the Department believes that further reunification
1279	1279	24 services would be ineffective, it may request a finding from
1280	1280	25 the court that reasonable efforts are no longer appropriate.

1296	1296	5 also be given so that if reunification fails or is delayed, the
1297	1297	6 placement made is the best available placement to provide
1298	1298	7 permanency for the child.
1299	1299	8 The Department shall adopt rules addressing concurrent
1300	1300	9 planning for reunification and permanency. The Department
1301	1301	10 shall consider the following factors when determining
1302	1302	11 appropriateness of concurrent planning:
1303	1303	12 (1) the likelihood of prompt reunification;
1304	1304	13 (2) the past history of the family;
1305	1305	14 (3) the barriers to reunification being addressed by
1306	1306	15 the family;
1307	1307	16 (4) the level of cooperation of the family;
1308	1308	17 (5) the foster parents' willingness to work with the
1309	1309	18 family to reunite;
1310	1310	19 (6) the willingness and ability of the foster family
1311	1311	20 to provide an adoptive home or long-term placement;
1312	1312	21 (7) the age of the child;
1313	1313	22 (8) placement of siblings.
1314	1314	23 (m) The Department may assume temporary custody of any
1315	1315	24 child if:

1335	1335	8 If the child is found in the child's residence without a
1336	1336	9 parent, guardian, custodian, or responsible caretaker, the
1337	1337	10 Department may, instead of removing the child and assuming
1338	1338	11 temporary custody, place an authorized representative of the
1339	1339	12 Department in that residence until such time as a parent,
1340	1340	13 guardian, or custodian enters the home and expresses a
1341	1341	14 willingness and apparent ability to ensure the child's health
1342	1342	15 and safety and resume permanent charge of the child, or until a

1366	1366	3 Neglected Child Reporting Act, or pursuant to a referral and
1367	1367	4 acceptance under the Juvenile Court Act of 1987 of a minor in
1368	1368	5 limited custody, the Department, during the period of
1369	1369	6 temporary custody and before the child is brought before a
1370	1370	7 judicial officer as required by Section 2-9, 3-11, 4-8, or
1371	1371	8 5-415 of the Juvenile Court Act of 1987, shall have the
1372	1372	9 authority, responsibilities and duties that a legal custodian
1373	1373	10 of the child would have under subsection (9) of Section 1-3 of
1374	1374	11 the Juvenile Court Act of 1987.
1375	1375	12 The Department shall ensure that any child taken into
1376	1376	13 custody is scheduled for an appointment for a medical
1377	1377	14 examination.
1378	1378	15 A parent, guardian, or custodian of a child in the

1380	1380	17 the child if the child were not in the temporary custody of the
1381	1381	18 Department may deliver to the Department a signed request that
1382	1382	19 the Department surrender the temporary custody of the child.
1383	1383	20 The Department may retain temporary custody of the child for

1385	1385	22 the Department may cause to be filed a petition pursuant to the
1386	1386	23 Juvenile Court Act of 1987. If a petition is so filed, the
1387	1387	24 Department shall retain temporary custody of the child until

1406	1406	7 that cares for children who are in need of secure living
1407	1407	8 arrangements for their health, safety, and well-being after a

1409	1409	10 Director or the Director's designate prior to admission to the
1410	1410	11 facility subject to Section 2-27.1 of the Juvenile Court Act
1411	1411	12 of 1987. This subsection (m-1) does not apply to a child who is
1412	1412	13 subject to placement in a correctional facility operated
1413	1413	14 pursuant to Section 3-15-2 of the Unified Code of Corrections,
1414	1414	15 unless the child is a youth in care who was placed in the care
1415	1415	16 of the Department before being subject to placement in a
1416	1416	17 correctional facility and a court of competent jurisdiction
1417	1417	18 has ordered placement of the child in a secure care facility.
1418	1418	19 (n) The Department may place children under 18 years of

1421	1421	22 preservation have been unsuccessful and cannot ensure the
1422	1422	23 child's health and safety or are unavailable and such

1446	1446	11 problems of severe emotional disturbance, physical disability,
1447	1447	12 social adjustment, or any combination thereof and suitable
1448	1448	13 facilities for the placement of such children are not

1474	1474	3 Family Services or by referral from the Department of Human
1475	1475	4 Services. Youth participating in services under this Section

1477	1477	6 an agreement identifying the services to be provided and how
1478	1478	7 the youth will increase skills to achieve self-sufficiency. A
1479	1479	8 homeless shelter is not considered appropriate housing for any
1480	1480	9 youth receiving child welfare services under this Section. The
1481	1481	10 Department shall continue child welfare services under this
1482	1482	11 Section to any eligible minor until the minor becomes 21 years
1483	1483	12 of age, no longer consents to participate, or achieves
1484	1484	13 self-sufficiency as identified in the minor's service plan.
1485	1485	14 The Department of Children and Family Services shall create
1486	1486	15 clear, readable notice of the rights of former foster youth to

1488	1488	17 services may be obtained. The Department of Children and
1489	1489	18 Family Services and the Department of Human Services shall

1513	1513	6 ensure that any private child welfare agency, which accepts
1514	1514	7 youth in care for placement, affords those rights to children
1515	1515	8 and foster families. The Department shall accept for
1516	1516	9 administrative review and an appeal hearing a complaint made
1517	1517	10 by (i) a child or foster family concerning a decision
1518	1518	11 following an initial review by a private child welfare agency
1519	1519	12 or (ii) a prospective adoptive parent who alleges a violation
1520	1520	13 of subsection (j-5) of this Section. An appeal of a decision
1521	1521	14 concerning a change in the placement of a child shall be
1522	1522	15 conducted in an expedited manner. A court determination that a

2305	2305	10 (c) A death where the circumstances are suspicious,
2306	2306	11 obscure, mysterious, or otherwise unexplained or where, in
2307	2307	12 the written opinion of the attending physician, the cause
2308	2308	13 of death is not determined;

2334	2334	3 operator of a motor vehicle, or (2) a pedestrian 16 years of
2335	2335	4 age or older, the coroner shall require that a blood specimen
2336	2336	5 of at least 30 cc., and if medically possible a urine specimen
2337	2337	6 of at least 30 cc. or as much as possible up to 30 cc., be
2338	2338	7 withdrawn from the body of the decedent in a timely fashion
2339	2339	8 after the crash causing his death, by such physician as has
2340	2340	9 been designated in accordance with Section 3-3014, or by the
2341	2341	10 coroner or deputy coroner or a qualified person designated by
2342	2342	11 such physician, coroner, or deputy coroner. If the county does
2343	2343	12 not maintain laboratory facilities for making such analysis,
2344	2344	13 the blood and urine so drawn shall be sent to the Illinois
2345	2345	14 State Police or any other accredited or State-certified
2346	2346	15 laboratory for analysis of the alcohol, carbon monoxide, and
2347	2347	16 dangerous or narcotic drug content of such blood and urine
2348	2348	17 specimens. Each specimen submitted shall be accompanied by
2349	2349	18 pertinent information concerning the decedent upon a form
2350	2350	19 prescribed by such laboratory. Any person drawing blood and
2351	2351	20 urine and any person making any examination of the blood and

2369	2369	2 coroner suspects that drugs may have been involved in the
2370	2370	3 death, either directly or indirectly, a toxicological
2371	2371	4 examination shall be performed which may include analyses of
2372	2372	5 blood, urine, bile, gastric contents, and other tissues. When
2373	2373	6 the coroner suspects a death is due to toxic substances, other
2374	2374	7 than drugs, the coroner shall consult with the toxicologist
2375	2375	8 prior to collection of samples. Information submitted to the
2376	2376	9 toxicologist shall include information as to height, weight,
2377	2377	10 age, sex, and race of the decedent as well as medical history,
2378	2378	11 medications used by, and the manner of death of the decedent.
2379	2379	12 When the coroner or medical examiner finds that the cause
2380	2380	13 of death is due to homicidal means, the coroner or medical
2381	2381	14 examiner shall cause blood and buccal specimens (tissue may be
2382	2382	15 submitted if no uncontaminated blood or buccal specimen can be
2383	2383	16 obtained), whenever possible, to be withdrawn from the body of

2386	2386	19 dried and tissue specimens shall be frozen if available
2387	2387	20 equipment exists. As soon as possible, but no later than 30
2388	2388	21 days after the collection of the specimens, the coroner or
2389	2389	22 medical examiner shall release those specimens to the police
2390	2390	23 agency responsible for investigating the death. As soon as
2391	2391	24 possible, but no later than 30 days after the receipt from the

2414	2414	11 information that the coroner or medical examiner is required
2415	2415	12 to provide during the conduct of a criminal investigation.
2416	2416	13 In all counties, in cases of apparent suicide, homicide,
2417	2417	14 or accidental death or in other cases, within the discretion
2418	2418	15 of the coroner, the coroner may summon 8 persons of lawful age
2419	2419	16 from those persons drawn for petit jurors in the county. The
2420	2420	17 summons shall command these persons to present themselves
2421	2421	18 personally at such a place and time as the coroner shall
2422	2422	19 determine, and may be in any form which the coroner shall
2423	2423	20 determine and may incorporate any reasonable form of request
2424	2424	21 for acknowledgment which the coroner deems practical and
2425	2425	22 provides a reliable proof of service. The summons may be
2426	2426	23 served by first class mail. From the 8 persons so summoned, the
2427	2427	24 coroner shall select 6 to serve as the jury for the inquest.
2428	2428	25 Inquests may be continued from time to time, as the coroner may
2429	2429	26 deem necessary. The 6 jurors selected in a given case may view

2441	2441	2 one or more of the original jurors shall be unable to continue
2442	2442	3 to serve, the coroner shall fill the vacancy or vacancies. A
2443	2443	4 juror serving pursuant to this paragraph shall receive
2444	2444	5 compensation from the county at the same rate as the rate of
2445	2445	6 compensation that is paid to petit or grand jurors in the
2446	2446	7 county. The coroner shall furnish to each juror without fee at
2447	2447	8 the time of his discharge a certificate of the number of days
2448	2448	9 in attendance at an inquest, and, upon being presented with
2449	2449	10 such certificate, the county treasurer shall pay to the juror
2450	2450	11 the sum provided for his services.
2451	2451	12 In counties which have a jury commission, in cases of
2452	2452	13 apparent suicide or homicide or of accidental death, the
2453	2453	14 coroner may conduct an inquest. The jury commission shall
2454	2454	15 provide at least 8 jurors to the coroner, from whom the coroner
2455	2455	16 shall select any 6 to serve as the jury for the inquest.
2456	2456	17 Inquests may be continued from time to time as the coroner may
2457	2457	18 deem necessary. The 6 jurors originally chosen in a given case
2458	2458	19 may view the body of the deceased. If at any continuation of an
2459	2459	20 inquest one or more of the 6 jurors originally chosen shall be

2462	2462	23 jurors to fill such vacancies shall be supplied by the jury
2463	2463	24 commission. A juror serving pursuant to this paragraph in such
2464	2464	25 county shall receive compensation from the county at the same

2487	2487	12 to the Department of Public Health. The Department of Public
2488	2488	13 Health shall adopt rules regarding specific information that
2489	2489	14 must be reported in the event of such a death, including, at a
2490	2490	15 minimum, the following information, if possible: (i) the cause
2491	2491	16 of the overdose; (ii) whether or not fentanyl was part or all
2492	2492	17 of the consumed substance; (iii) if fentanyl is part of the
2493	2493	18 consumed substance, what other substances were consumed; and
2494	2494	19 (iv) if fentanyl is part of the consumed substance, in what
2495	2495	20 proportion was fentanyl consumed to other substance or
2496	2496	21 substances. The coroner must also communicate whether there
2497	2497	22 was a suspicious level of fentanyl in combination with other
2498	2498	23 controlled substances present to all law enforcement agencies
2499	2499	24 in whose jurisdiction the deceased's body was found in a

2528	2528	17 reported to the coroner of the county in which the facility is
2529	2529	18 located. If the coroner has reason to believe that an
2530	2530	19 investigation is needed to determine whether the death was
2531	2531	20 caused by maltreatment or negligent care of the ward of the
2532	2532	21 State or youth in care as defined in Section 4d of the Children
2533	2533	22 and Family Services Act, the coroner may conduct a preliminary

2552	2552	5 Sec. 2. It is declared to be the public policy that the
2553	2553	6 State has a legitimate interest in assuring that all medical
2554	2554	7 procedures, including abortions, are performed under
2555	2555	8 circumstances that insure maximum safety. Therefore, the
2556	2556	9 purpose of this Act is to provide for the better protection of
2557	2557	10 the public health through the development, establishment, and
2558	2558	11 enforcement of standards (1) for the care of individuals in
2559	2559	12 ambulatory surgical treatment centers, and (2) for the
2560	2560	13 construction, maintenance and operation of ambulatory surgical
2561	2561	14 treatment centers, which, in light of advancing knowledge,
2562	2562	15 will promote safe and adequate treatment of such individuals

2582	2582	2 surgical procedures. "Ambulatory surgical treatment center"
2583	2583	3 includes any place that meets and complies with the definition
2584	2584	4 of an ambulatory surgical treatment center under the rules
2585	2585	5 adopted by the Department or any facility in which a medical or
2586	2586	6 surgical procedure is utilized to terminate a pregnancy,
2587	2587	7 irrespective of whether the facility is devoted primarily to
2588	2588	8 this purpose. Such facility shall not provide beds or other

2594	2594	14 continued well being of the patients or shall be transferred
2595	2595	15 to a hospital.
2596	2596	16 The term "ambulatory surgical treatment center" does not
2597	2597	17 include any of the following:
2598	2598	18 (1) Any institution, place, building or agency
2599	2599	19 required to be licensed pursuant to the "Hospital

2768	2768	10 recommends a particular service or item approved by
2769	2769	11 the United States Food and Drug Administration based

3761	3761	3 rehabilitated to warrant the public trust;
3762	3762	4 (b) what constitutes dishonorable, unethical, or
3763	3763	5 unprofessional conduct of a character likely to deceive,
3764	3764	6 defraud, or harm the public;
3765	3765	7 (c) what constitutes immoral conduct in the commission
3766	3766	8 of any act, including, but not limited to, commission of
3767	3767	9 an act of sexual misconduct related to the licensee's
3768	3768	10 practice; and

3776	3776	18 is licensed to practice under this Act or holds a permit to
3777	3777	19 practice under this Act, or any individual who has applied for
3778	3778	20 licensure or a permit pursuant to this Act, to submit to a
3779	3779	21 mental or physical examination and evaluation, or both, which
3780	3780	22 may include a substance abuse or sexual offender evaluation,

3837	3837	7 licensee, permit holder, or applicant ordered to undergo an
3838	3838	8 evaluation and examination for the examining physician or any
3839	3839	9 member of the multidisciplinary team to provide information,
3840	3840	10 reports, records, or other documents or to provide any
3841	3841	11 testimony regarding the examination and evaluation. The
3842	3842	12 individual to be examined may have, at his or her own expense,
3843	3843	13 another physician of his or her choice present during all
3844	3844	14 aspects of the examination. Failure of any individual to
3845	3845	15 submit to mental or physical examination and evaluation, or
3846	3846	16 both, when directed, shall result in an automatic suspension,
3847	3847	17 without hearing, until such time as the individual submits to
3848	3848	18 the examination. If the Medical Board finds a physician unable
3849	3849	19 to practice following an examination and evaluation because of
3850	3850	20 the reasons set forth in this Section, the Medical Board shall
3851	3851	21 require such physician to submit to care, counseling, or

3853	3853	23 approved or designated by the Medical Board, as a condition
3854	3854	24 for issued, continued, reinstated, or renewed licensure to

3876	3876	10 license under this Section, a hearing upon such person's
3877	3877	11 license must be convened by the Medical Board within 15 days
