and | 4 | | (C) the custodial agency may deny the committed | 5 | | person access to a telephone or limit the number of | 6 | | visitors the committed person may receive for purposes | 7 | | of safety. | 8 | | If a committed person receives medical care and treatment | 9 | | at a place other than an institution or facility of the | 10 | | Department of Juvenile Justice, then the Department of Juvenile | 11 | | Justice shall ensure that the committed person is wearing | 12 | | security restraints on either his or her wrists or ankles in | 13 | | accordance with the rules and procedures of the Department of | 14 | | Juvenile Justice if the Department of Juvenile Justice | 15 | | determines that restraints are necessary for the following | 16 | | reasons: (i) to prevent physical harm to the committed person | 17 | | or another person; (ii) because the committed person has a | 18 | | history of disruptive behavior that has placed others in | 19 | | potentially harmful situations or presents a substantial risk | 20 | | of inflicting physical harm on himself or herself or others as | 21 | | evidenced by recent behavior; or (iii) there is a well-founded | 22 | | belief that the committed person presents a substantial risk of | 23 | | flight.

Restraints shall not be used on the committed |
| | | 10000HB4100ham005 | - 12 - | LRB100 13779 XWW 40642 a |
|
| 1 | | person as provided in this paragraph if medical personnel | 2 | | determine that the restraints would impede medical treatment. | 3 | | Under no circumstances may leg irons or shackles or waist | 4 | | shackles be used on any pregnant female prisoner who is in | 5 | | labor.

deemed to be the consent of the person for | 22 | | all purposes,
including, but not limited to, the authority | 23 | | of a physician
to give such treatment. | 24 | | (e-5) If a physician providing medical care to a committed | 25 | | person on behalf of the Department advises the chief | 26 | | administrative officer that the committed person's mental or |
| | | 10000HB4100ham005 | - 18 - | LRB100 13779 XWW 40642 a |
|
| 1 | | physical health has deteriorated as a result of the cessation | 2 | | of ingestion of food or liquid to the point where medical or | 3 | | surgical treatment is required to prevent death, damage, or | 4 | | impairment to bodily functions, the chief administrative | 5 | | officer may authorize such medical or surgical treatment.
| 6 | | (f) In the event that the person requires medical care and
| 7 | | treatment at a place other than the institution or facility,
| 8 | | the person may be removed therefrom under conditions prescribed
| 9 | | by the Department.

each visit | 12 | | for medical or dental services. The amount of each co-payment | 13 | | shall be deducted from the
committed person's individual | 14 | | account.
A committed person who has a chronic illness, as | 15 | | defined by Department rules
and regulations, shall be exempt | 16 | | from the $5 co-payment for treatment of the
chronic illness. A | 17 | | committed person shall not be subject to a $5 co-payment
