   755 ILCS 40/25            from Ch. 110 1/2, par. 851-25                     

        Amends the Health Care Surrogate Act.  In provisions concerning a      
   health care provider's reasonable inquiry as to  the  availability  of      
   possible  surrogates,  provides  that  a  "reasonable  inquiry"  might      
   include  identifying  a  family  member  by  examining  the  patient's      
   personal  effects  or  medical  records.   Requires that an attempt to      
   contact a  family  member  must  be  made  within  24  hours  after  a      
   determination  that  a  patient  lacks decisional capacity.  Effective      
   immediately.                                                                
        SENATE AMENDMENT NO. 1.                                                
        Replaces  the  amendatory  provisions  concerning  a  "reasonable      
   inquiry".  Provides that a reasonable inquiry  includes,  but  is  not      
   limited  to,  identifying  a  member  of the patient's family or other      
   health care agent by  examining  the  patient's  personal  effects  or      
   medical  records.   Provides  that  if a family member or other health      
   care agent is  identified,  an  attempt  to  contact  that  person  by      
   telephone  must  be  made within 24 hours after a determination by the      
   provider that the patient lacks decisional capacity.                        
        HOUSE AMENDMENT NO. 1.                                                 
        Provides that no person shall be  liable  for  civil  damages  or      
   subject  to  professional  discipline  based on a claim of violating a      
   patient's right to confidentiality as a result of making a  reasonable      
   inquiry  as to the availability of a patient's family member or health      
   care agent, except for willful or wanton misconduct.
