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.

    (405 ILCS 5/3-752)
    Sec. 3-752. Certificate.

(a) The petition may be accompanied by the certificate of a physician, qualified examiner, psychiatrist, advanced practice psychiatric nurse, or clinical psychologist which certifies that the respondent is subject to involuntary admission on an outpatient basis. The certificate shall indicate that the physician, qualified examiner, advanced practice psychiatric nurse, or clinical psychologist personally examined the respondent not more than 72 hours prior to the completion  of the certificate. It shall also contain the physician's, qualified examiner's, advanced practice psychiatric nurse's, or clinical psychologist's clinical observations, other factual information relied upon in reaching a diagnosis, and a statement as to whether the respondent was advised of his or her rights under Section 3-208.

(b) Upon receipt of the petition either with or without a certificate, if the court finds the
documents are in order, it may make such orders pursuant to Section 3-753 as are necessary to
provide for examination of the respondent. If the petition is not accompanied by 2 certificates
executed pursuant to Section 3-753, the court may order the respondent to present himself or herself for
examination at a time and place designated by the court. If the petition is accompanied by 2
certificates executed pursuant to Section 3-753 and the court finds the documents are in order, the court
shall set the matter for hearing.
