Illinois General Assembly - Illinois Compiled Statutes

Updating the database of the Illinois Compiled Statutes (ILCS) is an ongoing process. Recent laws may not yet be included in the ILCS database, but they are found on this site as Public Acts soon after they become law. For information concerning the relationship between statutes and Public Acts, refer to the Guide.

Because the statute database is maintained primarily for legislative drafting purposes, statutory changes are sometimes included in the statute database before they take effect. If the source note at the end of a Section of the statutes includes a Public Act that has not yet taken effect, the version of the law that is currently in effect may have already been removed from the database and you should refer to that Public Act to see the changes made to the current law.

405 ILCS 5/3-804

(405 ILCS 5/3-804) (from Ch. 91 1/2, par. 3-804)

Sec. 3-804.

The respondent is entitled to secure an independent examination
by a physician, qualified examiner, clinical psychologist or other expert
of his or her choice.  If the respondent is unable to obtain an examination in an involuntary admission proceeding, a discharge proceeding under Section 3-901 of this Code,  or in a proceeding under Section 2-107.1 of this Code, the respondent
may request that the court order an examination to be made by a physician, qualified examiner,
clinical psychologist, or other expert.  Any such physician or other
examiner, whether secured by the respondent or appointed by the court, may
interview by telephone or in person any witnesses or other persons listed
in the petition for involuntary admission, the petition for discharge under Section 3-901 of this Code, or in the petition for medication or therapy under Section 2-107.1 of this Code.  The physician or other examiner
may submit to the court a report in which his or her findings are described in
detail. The court must determine the compensation of the examiner or other expert. The compensation must be paid by the respondent's county of residence unless the respondent is not a resident of this State, in which case the fee must be paid by the county in which the proceeding is pending.
