Synopsis As Introduced
Amends the Disposition of Remains Act. Provides that the person designated pursuant to Article IV of the Illinois Power of Attorney Act in a durable power of attorney for health care is added, in second place, to the prioritized list of those persons who have the right to control the disposition, including cremation, of the decedent's remains and who are liable for the costs of the disposition.

Senate Committee Amendment No. 1
Replaces everything after the enacting clause. Reinserts the provisions of the original bill with the following changes. Removes the change to the prioritized list of those persons who have the right to control the disposition, including cremation, of the decedent's remains and who are liable for the costs of the disposition. Provides that the prioritized list applies unless the decedent has left directions in writing or designated an agent to direct the disposition of his or her remains. Provides that the agent may sign the written instrument at any time, but the agent's authority to act is not effective until the agent signs. Provides that a person may designate an agent to direct his or her disposition of remains in a will, a prepaid funeral or burial contract, a power of attorney that satisfies the provisions of Article IV-Powers of Attorney for Health Care of the Illinois Power of Attorney Act and contains a power to direct the disposition of remains, a cremation authorization form that complies with the Crematory Regulation Act, or in a written instrument that satisfies the provisions of the listed Sections and that is signed by the person and notarized. Provides that the changes in the written direction by the decedent for the disposition of his or her remains contained in the amendatory Act shall also apply to any written instrument that: (i) satisfies the provision of Article IV-Powers of Attorney for Health Care of the Illinois Power of Attorney Act; (ii) contains a power to direct the disposition of remains; and (iii) was created before the effective date of the amendatory Act. Effective immediately.

House Amendment No. 1
In the statutory form for the disposition of remains, provides that a hospital who receives a copy of a disposition of remains form may act under it.
