Synopsis As Introduced
Amends the Department of Public Health Powers and Duties Law of the Civil Administrative Code of Illinois. Provides that the Department of Public Health's required publication of advance directive law must include the practitioner (instead of "physician") orders for life-sustaining treatment (POLST) form. Provides that the Department of Public Health shall develop and publish a uniform form for practitioner cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) or life-sustaining treatment orders (instead of "physician do-not-resuscitate orders") that may be used in all settings. Changes references to the Department of Public Health DNR Advance Directive Form to references to the Department of Public Health Uniform POLST form. Makes corresponding changes in the Nursing Home Care Act, the Emergency Medical Services (EMS) Systems Act, the Hospital Licensing Act, and the Health Care Surrogate Act. Further amends the Health Care Surrogate Act. Provides that any attending health care practitioner (instead of "physician") may execute a POLST form or advance directive form. Defines "attending health practitioner" as an individual who (1) is an Illinois licensed physician, advanced practice nurse, physician assistant, or licensed resident after completion of one year in a program; (2) is selected by or assigned to the patient; and (3) has primary responsibility for treatment and care of the patient. Provides that nothing in the Section concerning POLST forms or do-not-resuscitate advance directive forms shall be construed to affect the ability of an individual to include instructions in an advance directive, such as a power of attorney for health care. Deletes language concerning the form of a DNR Advance Directive.

Senate Committee Amendment No. 2
Provides that the execution of a Department of Public Health Uniform POLST form or DNR Advance Directive is voluntary; no person can be required to execute either form. Provides that a person who has executed either a Department of Public Health Uniform POLST form or DNR Advance Directive should review the form annually and when the person's condition changes. Provides that the Department of Public Health Uniform DNR Advance Directive or POLST form may, but need not, be in the form adopted by the Department of Public Health.

House Committee Amendment No. 1
Adds reference to:
210 ILCS 47/2-104.2

Replaces everything after the enacting clause with the provisions of the introduced bill and Senate Amendment #2, and makes the following changes: (1) removes references the Department of Health Uniform DNR Advance Directive; (2) refers instead to the Department of Public Health Uniform DNR/POLST form, or a previous version of the uniform form; (3) makes corresponding changes in the ID/DD Community Care Act; and (4) provides that the Department of Public Health shall publish the Department of Public Health Uniform DNR/POLST form reflecting the changes made by the amendatory Act no later than January 1, 2015. Effective immediately.
