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.

705 ILCS 405/2-19

(705 ILCS 405/2-19) (from Ch. 37, par. 802-19)

Sec. 2-19.

Preliminary orders after filing a petition.

In all cases
involving physical abuse the court shall order, and in all cases involving
neglect or sexual abuse the court may order, an examination of the child under
Section 2-11 of this Act or by a physician appointed or designated for this
purpose by the court.  As part of the examination, the physician shall arrange
to have color photographs taken, as soon as practical, of areas of trauma
visible on the child and may, if indicated, arrange to have a radiological
examination performed on the child.  The physician, on the completion of the
examination, shall forward the results of the examination together with the
color photographs to the State's Attorney of the county of the court ordering
such examination. The court may dispense with the examination in those cases
which were commenced on the basis of a physical examination by a physician.
Unless color photographs have already been taken or unless there are no areas
of visible trauma, the court shall arrange to have color photographs taken if
no such examination is conducted.
