11	11	1 AN ACT concerning deaths of victims of domestic violence.
12	12	2 Be it enacted by the People of the State of Illinois,
13	13	3 represented in the General Assembly:
14	14	4 Section 1. Findings.
15	15	5 (a) The General Assembly finds all of the following:
16	16	6 (1) Suspicious death cases, when there is a history of
17	17	7 being victimized by domestic violence, are inadequately
18	18	8 investigated at times, when a premature decision is made
19	19	9 to determine the cause of death as suicide even before a
20	20	10 comprehensive investigation has been completed by law
21	21	11 enforcement professionals.
22	22	12 (2) Domestic violence-related homicides are highly
23	23	13 susceptible to staging or alteration of the death scene
24	24	14 before investigators can conduct a scene investigation,
25	25	15 which hampers the responsibilities of the coroner or
26	26	16 medical examiner and compromises the ability of
27	27	17 investigators to evaluate death cases adequately.
28	28	18 (3) Research has identified 10 red flag markers in
29	29	19 suspicious death cases, when there is a history of being
30	30	20 victimized by domestic violence, that should be evaluated
31	31	21 in any death investigation.
32	32	22 (4) An independent right of family members of homicide
33	33	23 victims has been created in federal law to obtain
34	34	24 information, access victim services, and request an

463	463	5 suspected of being:
464	464	6 (a) A sudden or violent death, whether apparently
465	465	7 suicidal, homicidal, or accidental, including, but not
466	466	8 limited to, deaths apparently caused or contributed to by
467	467	9 thermal, traumatic, chemical, electrical, or radiational

534	534	4 urine and any person making any examination of the blood and
535	535	5 urine under the terms of this Division shall be immune from all
536	536	6 liability, civil or criminal, that might otherwise be incurred

539	539	9 coroner and referred to in subparagraphs (a) through (e)
540	540	10 above, blood, and, whenever possible, urine samples shall be
541	541	11 analyzed for the presence of alcohol and other drugs. When the
542	542	12 coroner suspects that drugs may have been involved in the
543	543	13 death, either directly or indirectly, a toxicological
544	544	14 examination shall be performed which may include analyses of
545	545	15 blood, urine, bile, gastric contents, and other tissues. When
546	546	16 the coroner suspects a death is due to toxic substances, other
547	547	17 than drugs, the coroner shall consult with the toxicologist
548	548	18 prior to collection of samples. Information submitted to the
549	549	19 toxicologist shall include information as to height, weight,
550	550	20 age, sex, and race of the decedent as well as medical history,
551	551	21 medications used by, and the manner of death of the decedent.
552	552	22 When the coroner or medical examiner finds that the cause
553	553	23 of death is due to homicidal means, the coroner or medical
554	554	24 examiner shall cause blood and buccal specimens (tissue may be
555	555	25 submitted if no uncontaminated blood or buccal specimen can be
556	556	26 obtained), whenever possible, to be withdrawn from the body of

568	568	2 the specimens, collected blood and buccal specimens shall be
569	569	3 dried and tissue specimens shall be frozen if available
570	570	4 equipment exists. As soon as possible, but no later than 30
571	571	5 days after the collection of the specimens, the coroner or
572	572	6 medical examiner shall release those specimens to the police
573	573	7 agency responsible for investigating the death. As soon as
574	574	8 possible, but no later than 30 days after the receipt from the
575	575	9 coroner or medical examiner, the police agency shall submit
576	576	10 the specimens using the agency case number to a National DNA
577	577	11 Index System (NDIS) participating laboratory within this
578	578	12 State, such as the Illinois State Police, Division of Forensic
579	579	13 Services, for analysis and categorizing into genetic marker
580	580	14 groupings. The results of the analysis and categorizing into
581	581	15 genetic marker groupings shall be provided to the Illinois
582	582	16 State Police and shall be maintained by the Illinois State
583	583	17 Police in the State central repository in the same manner, and
584	584	18 subject to the same conditions, as provided in Section 5-4-3

606	606	4 determine and may incorporate any reasonable form of request
607	607	5 for acknowledgment which the coroner deems practical and
608	608	6 provides a reliable proof of service. The summons may be
609	609	7 served by first class mail. From the 8 persons so summoned, the
610	610	8 coroner shall select 6 to serve as the jury for the inquest.
611	611	9 Inquests may be continued from time to time, as the coroner may
612	612	10 deem necessary. The 6 jurors selected in a given case may view
613	613	11 the body of the deceased. If at any continuation of an inquest
614	614	12 one or more of the original jurors shall be unable to continue
615	615	13 to serve, the coroner shall fill the vacancy or vacancies. A
616	616	14 juror serving pursuant to this paragraph shall receive
617	617	15 compensation from the county at the same rate as the rate of
618	618	16 compensation that is paid to petit or grand jurors in the
619	619	17 county. The coroner shall furnish to each juror without fee at
620	620	18 the time of his discharge a certificate of the number of days
621	621	19 in attendance at an inquest, and, upon being presented with
622	622	20 such certificate, the county treasurer shall pay to the juror
623	623	21 the sum provided for his services.
624	624	22 In counties which have a jury commission, in cases of
625	625	23 apparent suicide or homicide or of accidental death, the
626	626	24 coroner may conduct an inquest. The jury commission shall

648	648	10 rate as the rate of compensation that is paid to petit or grand
649	649	11 jurors in the county.

653	653	15 shall provide a copy of the death certificate (i) within 30
654	654	16 days after filing the permanent death certificate and (ii) in
655	655	17 a manner that is agreed upon by the coroner and the State Fire
656	656	18 Marshal.
657	657	19 In every case in which a drug overdose is officially
658	658	20 determined to be the cause or a contributing factor in the
659	659	21 death, the coroner or medical examiner shall report the death
660	660	22 to the Department of Public Health. The Department of Public
661	661	23 Health shall adopt rules regarding specific information that
662	662	24 must be reported in the event of such a death, including, at a
663	663	25 minimum, the following information, if possible: (i) the cause
664	664	26 of the overdose; (ii) whether or not fentanyl was part or all

676	676	2 consumed substance, what other substances were consumed; and
677	677	3 (iv) if fentanyl is part of the consumed substance, in what
678	678	4 proportion was fentanyl consumed to other substance or

681	681	7 controlled substances present to all law enforcement agencies
682	682	8 in whose jurisdiction the deceased's body was found in a
683	683	9 prompt manner. As used in this paragraph, "overdose" has the
684	684	10 same meaning as it does in Section 414 of the Illinois
685	685	11 Controlled Substances Act. The Department of Public Health
686	686	12 shall issue a semiannual report to the General Assembly
687	687	13 summarizing the reports received. The Department shall also
688	688	14 provide on its website a monthly report of overdose death
689	689	15 figures organized by location, age, and any other factors the
690	690	16 Department deems appropriate.
691	691	17 In addition, in every case in which domestic violence is
692	692	18 determined to be a contributing factor in a death, the coroner
693	693	19 shall report the death to the Illinois State Police.

715	715	5 State or youth in care as defined in Section 4d of the Children
716	716	6 and Family Services Act, the coroner may conduct a preliminary
