AN ACT to amend the Civil Administrative Code of Illinois
by changing Section 55.81.
Be it enacted by the People of the State of Illinois,
represented in the General Assembly:
Section 5. The Civil Administrative Code of Illinois is
amended by changing Section 55.81 as follows:
(20 ILCS 2310/55.81)
Sec. 55.81. Violent injury reporting.
(a) The Illinois Department of Public Health shall
require hospitals and other facilities in the State to
report, in a manner determined by rule, each injury allegedly
caused by a violent act. The Illinois Department of Public
Health shall coordinate this reporting with existing
reporting requirements such as trauma and head and neck
injury reporting to reduce duplication of reporting. All
information and data reported shall be confidential and
privileged in accordance with Part 21 of Article VIII of the
Code of Civil Procedure, except as provided in subsection
(b).
(b) The Illinois Department of Public Health shall
compile the reports required under subsection (a) and shall
determine the impact of violent acts on children. The
Department shall, using only data from which the identity of
an individual cannot be ascertained, reconstructed, or
verified and to which the identity of an individual cannot be
linked by a recipient of the data, report its findings to the
General Assembly by December 31, 1997, and every 2 years
thereafter.
