Statutes Amended In Order of Appearance

745 ILCS 49/30

Synopsis As Introduced
Amends the Good Samaritan Act. In a Section requiring a free medical clinic to post an explanation of its exemption from civil liability for that exemption to apply, as an alternative to this posting, provides that the clinic may provide an explanation of the exemption in writing to each person who is enrolled as a patient or member of that free medical clinic or, in the case of a minor patient or member, to the parent or guardian of that minor. Provides that a free medical clinic may receive reimbursement from local governmental units or community organizations (instead of only from the Illinois Department of Healthcare and Family Services (formerly the Department of Public Aid)). Effective immediately.
