AN ACT concerning public health.

Be it enacted by the People of the State of Illinois,
|
represented in the General Assembly:
|
Section 5. The Vital Records Act is amended by changing |
Section 18.5 as follows:
|
(410 ILCS 535/18.5)
|
Sec. 18.5. Electronic reporting system for death |
registrations. The State
Registrar
may facilitate death |
registration by implementing an electronic reporting
system. |
The
system may be used to transfer information to individuals |
and institutions
responsible for
completing and filing |
certificates and related reports for deaths that occur in
the |
State.
The system shall be capable of storing and retrieving |
accurate
and timely
data and statistics for those persons and |
agencies responsible for vital
records registration
and |
administration. Upon establishment of such an electronic |
reporting system, but not later than January 1, 2011, the |
county clerk in the county in which a death occurred or the |
county clerk of the county where a decedent last resided, as |
indicated on the decedent's death certificate, shall be |
authorized to issue certifications of death records from such |
system, and the State Registrar shall cause the electronic |
reporting system to provide for such capability.
