(410 ILCS 210/2) (from Ch. 111, par. 4502)
Sec. 2. Any parent, including a parent who is a minor, may consent to the
performance upon his or her child of a medical or surgical procedure by a
physician licensed to practice medicine and surgery, an advanced practice nurse who has a written collaborative agreement with a collaborating physician that authorizes provision of services for minors, or a physician assistant who has been delegated authority to provide services for minors or a dental procedure
by a licensed dentist. The consent of a parent who is a minor shall not be
voidable because of such minority, but, for such purpose, a parent who is a
minor shall be deemed to have the same legal capacity to act and shall have
the same powers and obligations as has a person of legal age.
