New Act

Synopsis As Introduced
Creates the Burn Injury Reporting Act. Requires that an immediate oral report and later a written report be filed of every burn injury that meets one of the following criteria: (i) a person receives a second-degree or third degree burn to 5% or more of the person's body as a whole; (ii) a person sustains a burn to the upper respiratory tract or occurring laryngeal edema due to the inhalation of superheated air; or (iii) a person sustains any burn injury likely to result in death. Provides that the oral report shall consist of notification by telephone within 4 hours of completion of the initial treatment of the burn injury victim to local law enforcement in the jurisdiction where the hospital is located. Lists what must be contained in the report. Provides that information collected in the burn injury reports that could identify the hospital, any health care professional, hospital staff, or the patient shall remain confidential and only be divulged as needed in the investigation or prosecution of a criminal offense. Provides that persons complying with the Act in good faith are not subject to civil or criminal liability or discipline for unprofessional conduct.

Senate Committee Amendment No. 1

	Adds reference to:
	5 ILCS 80/4.19a new

Replaces everything after the enacting clause. Reinserts the provisions of the original bill with the following changes. Permits (instead of requires) a hospital's administrator, manager, superintendent, or his or her designee (instead of all hospitals) to make an oral report to the State Fire Marshall in a timely manner as soon as treatment permits (instead of an immediate oral report and later a written report) for every case of a burn injury treated in a hospital that meets the listed criteria. Requires the State Fire Marshal to establish a toll-free number for burn reporting. Provides exceptions to the burn injury reporting requirements. Removes the 4 hour time limit for making the oral report. Limits the reporting requirements to hospitals that treat a patient initially for a burn injury. Provides that no information shall be included in the report naming or identifying any health care professional or hospital staff. Requires the Office of the State Fire Marshal to conduct a public information campaign working in conjunction with hospitals, physicians, and law enforcement to inform hospitals of the opportunity to report burn injuries to the toll-free number maintained by the Office pursuant to the Act. Makes other changes. Amends the Regulatory Sunset Act. Provides that the Burn Injury Reporting Act is repealed on January 1, 2009.
