(410 ILCS 510/2) (from Ch. 144, par. 1552)
Sec. 2.
Any physician or surgeon licensed in Illinois, or any medical
college or school, or other institution of higher science education or
school of mortuary science, public or private, before receiving any dead
body under this Act, shall give to the proper authority a sufficient receipt
and bond that the body shall be used only for the promotion of medical,
anatomical, biological or mortuary science within this State. No dead human
body may be received by a physician or surgeon, medical college or school,
or other institution or school unless the body is accompanied by a Permit
for Disposition of Dead Human Body as provided by Section 21 of the Vital
Records Act and the Rules and Regulations for the Transportation and
Disposal of the Dead as promulgated by the Illinois Department of Public
Health. Whoever (1) uses a dead human body for any other purpose, or (2)
removes a dead human body beyond the limits of this State, or (3) sells or
buys any dead human body or traffics in dead human bodies; or (4) receives
any dead human body that is not accompanied by a Permit for Disposition of
Dead Human Body, is guilty of a Class A misdemeanor. Every fine accruing
from a conviction under this Section shall be paid into the common school
fund of the county where the offense was committed.
