1 AN ACT concerning blood donation.
2 Be it enacted by the People of the State of Illinois,
3 represented in the General Assembly:
4 Section 5. The Blood Donation Act is amended by
5 changing Section 1 as follows:
6 (210 ILCS 15/1) (from Ch. 111 1/2, par. 600)
7 Sec. 1. (a) Any person 16 17 years of age or older may
8 donate blood, if the donation be completely voluntary,
9 without the necessity of obtaining the permission or
10 authorization of his or her parent or guardian.
11 (b) Any person 15 16 years of age and in possession of a
12 legal and valid Illinois driver's license or instruction
13 permit may donate blood, if that person obtains written
14 permission or authorization from his or her parent or
15 guardian.
16 No donation shall be construed to be involuntary within
