Sec. 4-11.
Applicability - inconsistent Acts.
This Article applies to all
health care providers and other persons in relation to all health care
agencies on and after the effective date of this Article. This Article
supersedes all other Illinois Acts or
parts thereof existing on the effective date of this Article to the extent such
other Acts are inconsistent with the terms and operation of this Article;
provided, that this Article does not affect the law governing emergency health
care. If the principal has a living will under the "Illinois Living Will
Act", as now or hereafter amended, the living will shall not be operative so
long as an agent is available who is authorized by a health care agency to
deal with the subject of life-sustaining or death-delaying procedures for
and on behalf of the principal.
