Illinois General Assembly - Illinois Compiled Statutes

Updating the database of the Illinois Compiled Statutes (ILCS) is an ongoing process. Recent laws may not yet be included in the ILCS database, but they are found on this site as Public Acts soon after they become law. For information concerning the relationship between statutes and Public Acts, refer to the Guide.

Because the statute database is maintained primarily for legislative drafting purposes, statutory changes are sometimes included in the statute database before they take effect. If the source note at the end of a Section of the statutes includes a Public Act that has not yet taken effect, the version of the law that is currently in effect may have already been removed from the database and you should refer to that Public Act to see the changes made to the current law.

    (235 ILCS 5/6-39)
    (This Section may contain text from a Public Act with a delayed effective date)
    Sec. 6-39. Opioid antagonists on premises.

(a) In this Section, "music venue" means an indoor or outdoor location with a capacity of more than 1,000 persons used as a space  to hold a live concert or musical performance for which tickets are purchased for admission to benefit a for-profit entity.

(b) If a licensee operates as a music venue, the licensee shall ensure that, during its hours of operation as a music venue, it or the music venue operator has opioid antagonists available at the premises and that there is a staff member on the premises who has been sufficiently trained on how to properly administer an opioid antagonist. A person who has been certified in the administration of opioid antagonists by a governmental or private entity, regardless of when the person received that certification, is deemed to be sufficiently trained under this Section.

(c) A licensee or music venue operator and a person  who is sufficiently trained and in good faith administers or provides an opioid antagonist in accordance with this Section, shall not, as a result of the person's acts or omissions, except willful or wanton misconduct on the part of the person, in administering or providing the opioid antagonist, be liable for civil damages.
