| ||||||
2 | Be it enacted by the People of the State of Illinois,
| ||||||

| ||||||
4 | Section 5. The Mental Health and Developmental | ||||||
5 | Disabilities Code is amended by changing Sections 1-104.5 and | ||||||
6 | 3-703 as follows: | ||||||
7 | (405 ILCS 5/1-104.5) | ||||||
8 | (This Section may contain text from a Public Act with a | ||||||
9 | delayed effective date )
| ||||||
10 | Sec. 1-104.5. "Dangerous conduct" means threatening | ||||||
11 | behavior or conduct that places the person or another | ||||||
12 | individual in reasonable expectation of being harmed, or a | ||||||
13 | person's inability to provide, without the assistance of family | ||||||
14 | or outside help, for his or her basic physical needs so as to | ||||||
15 | guard himself or herself from serious harm.
| ||||||
16 | Notwithstanding any other rulemaking authority that may | ||||||
17 | exist, neither the Governor nor any agency or agency head under | ||||||
18 | the jurisdiction of the Governor has any authority to make or | ||||||
19 | promulgate rules to implement or enforce the provisions of this | ||||||
20 | amendatory Act of the 95th General Assembly. If, however, the | ||||||
21 | Governor believes that rules are necessary to implement or | ||||||
22 | enforce the provisions of this amendatory Act of the 95th | ||||||
23 | General Assembly, the Governor may suggest rules to the General |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | Assembly by filing them with the Clerk of the House and | ||||||
2 | Secretary of the Senate and by requesting that the General | ||||||
3 | Assembly authorize such rulemaking by law, enact those | ||||||
4 | suggested rules into law, or take any other appropriate action | ||||||
5 | in the General Assembly's discretion. Nothing contained in this | ||||||
6 | amendatory Act of the 95th General Assembly shall be | ||||||
7 | interpreted to grant rulemaking authority under any other | ||||||
8 | Illinois statute where such authority is not otherwise | ||||||
9 | explicitly given. For the purposes of this amendatory Act of | ||||||
10 | the 95th General Assembly, "rules" is given the meaning | ||||||
11 | contained in Section 1-70 of the Illinois Administrative | ||||||
12 | Procedure Act, and "agency" and "agency head" are given the | ||||||

14 | Administrative Procedure Act to the extent that such | ||||||
15 | definitions apply to agencies or agency heads under the | ||||||
16 | jurisdiction of the Governor. | ||||||
17 | (Source: P.A. 95-602, eff. 6-1-08.)
| ||||||
18 | (405 ILCS 5/3-703) (from Ch. 91 1/2, par. 3-703)
| ||||||
19 | Sec. 3-703. If no certificate was filed, the respondent | ||||||
20 | shall be examined
separately by a physician, or clinical | ||||||
21 | psychologist, or qualified examiner
and by a psychiatrist. If a | ||||||
22 | certificate executed by a psychiatrist was
filed, the | ||||||
23 | respondent shall be examined by a physician, clinical | ||||||
24 | psychologist,
qualified examiner, or psychiatrist. If a | ||||||
25 | certificate executed by a qualified
examiner, clinical |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | psychologist, or a physician who is not a psychiatrist
was | ||||||
2 | filed, the respondent shall be examined by a psychiatrist. The
| ||||||
3 | examining physician, clinical psychologist, qualified examiner | ||||||
4 | or
psychiatrist may interview by telephone or in person any | ||||||
5 | witnesses or other
persons listed in the petition for | ||||||
6 | involuntary admission. If, as a
result of an examination, a | ||||||
7 | certificate is executed, the certificate shall
be promptly | ||||||
8 | filed with the court. If a certificate is executed, the
| ||||||
9 | examining physician, clinical psychologist, qualified examiner | ||||||
10 | or
psychiatrist may also submit for filing with the court a | ||||||
11 | report in which
his findings are described in detail, and may | ||||||
12 | rely upon such findings for
his opinion that the respondent is | ||||||
13 | subject to involuntary admission.
Copies of the certificates | ||||||
14 | shall be made available to the attorneys for the
parties upon | ||||||
15 | request prior to the hearing. A certificate prepared in | ||||||
16 | compliance with this Article shall state whether or not the | ||||||
17 | respondent is in need of immediate hospitalization. However, if | ||||||
18 | both of the certificates state that the respondent is not in | ||||||
19 | need of immediate hospitalization, the respondent may remain in | ||||||
20 | his or her place of residence absent imminent danger pending a | ||||||
21 | hearing on the petition unless he or she voluntarily agrees to | ||||||
22 | inpatient treatment.
| ||||||
23 | Notwithstanding any other rulemaking authority that may | ||||||
24 | exist, neither the Governor nor any agency or agency head under | ||||||
25 | the jurisdiction of the Governor has any authority to make or | ||||||
26 | promulgate rules to implement or enforce the provisions of this |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | amendatory Act of the 95th General Assembly. If, however, the | ||||||
2 | Governor believes that rules are necessary to implement or | ||||||
3 | enforce the provisions of this amendatory Act of the 95th | ||||||
4 | General Assembly, the Governor may suggest rules to the General | ||||||
5 | Assembly by filing them with the Clerk of the House and | ||||||
6 | Secretary of the Senate and by requesting that the General | ||||||
7 | Assembly authorize such rulemaking by law, enact those | ||||||
8 | suggested rules into law, or take any other appropriate action | ||||||
9 | in the General Assembly's discretion. Nothing contained in this | ||||||
10 | amendatory Act of the 95th General Assembly shall be | ||||||
11 | interpreted to grant rulemaking authority under any other | ||||||
12 | Illinois statute where such authority is not otherwise | ||||||
13 | explicitly given. For the purposes of this amendatory Act of | ||||||
14 | the 95th General Assembly, "rules" is given the meaning | ||||||
15 | contained in Section 1-70 of the Illinois Administrative | ||||||
16 | Procedure Act, and "agency" and "agency head" are given the | ||||||
17 | meanings contained in Sections 1-20 and 1-25 of the Illinois | ||||||
18 | Administrative Procedure Act to the extent that such | ||||||
19 | definitions apply to agencies or agency heads under the | ||||||
20 | jurisdiction of the Governor. | ||||||
21 | (Source: P.A. 85-558.)
| ||||||
22 | Section 10. The Mental Health and Developmental | ||||||
23 | Disabilities Confidentiality Act is amended by changing | ||||||
24 | Sections 4, 9.2, and 11 as follows:
|
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | (740 ILCS 110/4) (from Ch. 91 1/2, par. 804)
| ||||||
2 | Sec. 4. (a) The following persons shall be entitled, upon | ||||||
3 | request,
to inspect and copy a recipient's record or any part | ||||||
4 | thereof:
| ||||||
5 | (1) the parent or guardian of a recipient who is under | ||||||
6 | 12 years of age;
| ||||||
7 | (2) the recipient if he is 12 years of age or older;
| ||||||
8 | (3) the parent or guardian of a recipient who is at | ||||||
9 | least 12 but under
18 years, if the recipient is informed | ||||||
10 | and does not object or if the therapist
does not find that | ||||||
11 | there are compelling reasons for denying the access.
The | ||||||
12 | parent or guardian who is denied access by either the | ||||||
13 | recipient or the
therapist may petition a court for access | ||||||
14 | to the record. Nothing in this
paragraph is intended to | ||||||
15 | prohibit the parent or guardian of a recipient who is
at | ||||||
16 | least 12 but under 18 years from requesting and receiving | ||||||
17 | the following
information: current physical and mental | ||||||
18 | condition, diagnosis, treatment needs,
services provided, | ||||||
19 | and services needed, including medication, if any;
| ||||||
20 | (4) the guardian of a recipient who is 18 years or | ||||||
21 | older;
| ||||||
22 | (5) an attorney or guardian ad litem who represents a | ||||||
23 | minor 12
years of age or older in any judicial or | ||||||
24 | administrative proceeding,
provided that the court or | ||||||
25 | administrative hearing officer has entered an
order | ||||||
26 | granting the attorney this right; or
|
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | (6) an agent appointed under a recipient's power of | ||||||
2 | attorney for health
care or for property, when the power of | ||||||
3 | attorney authorizes the access ; or .
| ||||||
4 | (7) an attorney-in-fact appointed under the Mental | ||||||
5 | Health Treatment Preference Declaration Act. | ||||||
6 | (b) Assistance in interpreting the record may be provided | ||||||
7 | without charge
and shall be provided if the person inspecting | ||||||
8 | the record is under 18 years
of age. However, access may in no | ||||||
9 | way be denied or limited if the person
inspecting the record | ||||||
10 | refuses the assistance. A reasonable fee may be
charged for | ||||||
11 | duplication of a record. However, when requested to do so in
| ||||||
12 | writing by any indigent recipient, the custodian of the records | ||||||
13 | shall
provide at no charge to the recipient, or to the | ||||||
14 | Guardianship and Advocacy
Commission, the agency designated by | ||||||
15 | the Governor under Section 1 of the
Protection and Advocacy for | ||||||
16 | Developmentally Disabled Persons Act or to any
other | ||||||
17 | not-for-profit agency whose primary purpose is to provide free | ||||||
18 | legal
services or advocacy for the indigent and who has | ||||||
19 | received written
authorization from the recipient under | ||||||
20 | Section 5 of this Act to receive his
records, one copy of any | ||||||
21 | records in its possession whose disclosure is
authorized under | ||||||
22 | this Act.
| ||||||
23 | (c) Any person entitled to access to a record under this | ||||||
24 | Section may submit
a written statement concerning any disputed | ||||||
25 | or new information, which statement
shall be entered into the | ||||||
26 | record. Whenever any disputed part of a record
is disclosed, |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | any submitted statement relating thereto shall accompany the
| ||||||
2 | disclosed part. Additionally, any person entitled to access may | ||||||
3 | request
modification of any part of the record which he | ||||||
4 | believes is incorrect or
misleading. If the request is refused, | ||||||
5 | the person may seek a court order
to compel modification.
| ||||||
6 | (d) Whenever access or modification is requested, the | ||||||
7 | request and any
action taken thereon shall be noted in the | ||||||
8 | recipient's record.
| ||||||
9 | (e) Notwithstanding any other rulemaking authority that | ||||||
10 | may exist, neither the Governor nor any agency or agency head | ||||||
11 | under the jurisdiction of the Governor has any authority to | ||||||
12 | make or promulgate rules to implement or enforce the provisions | ||||||
13 | of this amendatory Act of the 95th General Assembly. If, | ||||||
14 | however, the Governor believes that rules are necessary to | ||||||
15 | implement or enforce the provisions of this amendatory Act of | ||||||
16 | the 95th General Assembly, the Governor may suggest rules to | ||||||
17 | the General Assembly by filing them with the Clerk of the House | ||||||
18 | and Secretary of the Senate and by requesting that the General | ||||||
19 | Assembly authorize such rulemaking by law, enact those | ||||||
20 | suggested rules into law, or take any other appropriate action | ||||||
21 | in the General Assembly's discretion. Nothing contained in this | ||||||
22 | amendatory Act of the 95th General Assembly shall be | ||||||
23 | interpreted to grant rulemaking authority under any other | ||||||
24 | Illinois statute where such authority is not otherwise | ||||||
25 | explicitly given. For the purposes of this amendatory Act of | ||||||
26 | the 95th General Assembly, "rules" is given the meaning |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | contained in Section 1-70 of the Illinois Administrative | ||||||
2 | Procedure Act, and "agency" and "agency head" are given the | ||||||
3 | meanings contained in Sections 1-20 and 1-25 of the Illinois | ||||||
4 | Administrative Procedure Act to the extent that such | ||||||
5 | definitions apply to agencies or agency heads under the | ||||||
6 | jurisdiction of the Governor. | ||||||

| ||||||
9 | Sec. 9.2. Interagency disclosure of recipient information. | ||||||
10 | For the
purposes of continuity of care, the Department of Human | ||||||
11 | Services (as
successor to the Department of Mental Health and | ||||||
12 | Developmental
Disabilities), community agencies funded by the
| ||||||
13 | Department of Human Services in that capacity, licensed private | ||||||
14 | hospitals receiving payments from the Department of Human | ||||||

17 | Department of Corrections , mental health facilities operated | ||||||
18 | by a county, and jails operated by any
county of this State may | ||||||
19 | disclose a
recipient's record or communications, without | ||||||
20 | consent, to each other, but only
for the purpose of admission, | ||||||
21 | treatment, planning, or discharge. Entities
shall not | ||||||
22 | redisclose any personally identifiable information, unless | ||||||
23 | necessary
for admission, treatment, planning, or discharge of | ||||||
24 | the identified recipient to
another setting.
No records or | ||||||
25 | communications may be disclosed to a county jail or State |
| |||||||
| |||||||

this Section unless | ||||||
2 | the Department has entered into a written agreement with
the | ||||||
3 | county jail or State correctional facility prison requiring | ||||||
4 | that the county jail or State correctional facility prison | ||||||
5 | adopt written policies and
procedures designed to ensure that | ||||||
6 | the records and communications are disclosed
only to those | ||||||
7 | persons employed by or under contract to the county jail or | ||||||
8 | State correctional facility prison who are
involved in the | ||||||
9 | provision of mental health services to inmates and that the
| ||||||
10 | records and communications are protected from further | ||||||
11 | disclosure. For the purposes of this Section, the term | ||||||
12 | "licensed private hospital" shall have the meaning ascribed to | ||||||
13 | it in the Mental Health and Developmental Disabilities Code.
| ||||||
14 | Notwithstanding any other rulemaking authority that may | ||||||
15 | exist, neither the Governor nor any agency or agency head under | ||||||
16 | the jurisdiction of the Governor has any authority to make or | ||||||
17 | promulgate rules to implement or enforce the provisions of this | ||||||
18 | amendatory Act of the 95th General Assembly. If, however, the | ||||||
19 | Governor believes that rules are necessary to implement or | ||||||

24 | Assembly authorize such rulemaking by law, enact those | ||||||
25 | suggested rules into law, or take any other appropriate action | ||||||
26 | in the General Assembly's discretion. Nothing contained in this |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | amendatory Act of the 95th General Assembly shall be | ||||||
2 | interpreted to grant rulemaking authority under any other | ||||||
3 | Illinois statute where such authority is not otherwise | ||||||
4 | explicitly given. For the purposes of this amendatory Act of | ||||||
5 | the 95th General Assembly, "rules" is given the meaning | ||||||
6 | contained in Section 1-70 of the Illinois Administrative | ||||||
7 | Procedure Act, and "agency" and "agency head" are given the | ||||||
