    Sec. 30. Medical care for committed persons.
    (a) If a committed person receives medical care and
treatment at a place other than an institution or facility of
the Department of Corrections, a county, or a municipality,
then the institution or facility shall:
        (1) to the greatest extent practicable, notify the
    hospital or medical facility that is treating the committed
    person prior to the committed person's visit and notify the
    hospital or medical facility of any significant medical,
    mental health, recent violent actions, or other safety
    concerns regarding the patient;
        (2) to the greatest extent practicable, ensure the
    transferred committed person is accompanied by the most
    comprehensive medical records possible;
        (3) provide at least one guard trained in custodial
    escort and custody of high-risk committed persons to
    accompany any committed person. The custodial agency shall
    attest to such training for custodial escort and custody of
    high-risk committed persons through: (A) the training of
    the Department of Corrections, or Department of Juvenile
    Justice, or Department of State Police; (B) law enforcement
    training that is substantially equivalent to the training
    of the Department of Corrections, or Department of Juvenile
    Justice, or Department of State Police; or (C) the training
    described in Section 35. Under no circumstances may leg
    irons or shackles or waist shackles be used on any pregnant
    female prisoner who is in labor. In addition, restraint of
    a pregnant female prisoner in the custody of the Cook
    County shall comply with Section 3-15003.6 of the Counties
    Code. Additionally, restraints shall not be used on a
    committed person if medical personnel determine that the
    restraints would impede medical treatment; and
        (4) ensure that only medical personnel, Department of
    Corrections, county, or municipality personnel, and
    visitors on the committed person's approved institutional
    visitors list may visit the committed person. Visitation by
    a person on the committed person's approved institutional
    visitors list shall be subject to the rules and procedures
    of the hospital or medical facility and the Department of
    Corrections, county, or municipality. In any situation in
    which a committed person is being visited:
            (A) the name of the visitor must be listed per the
        facility's or institution's documentation;
            (B) the visitor shall submit to the search of his
        or her person or any personal property under his or her
        control at any time; and
            (C) the custodial agency may deny the committed
        person access to a telephone or limit the number of
        visitors the committed person may receive for purposes
        of safety.
    If a committed person receives medical care and treatment
at a place other than an institution or facility of the
Department of Corrections, county, or municipality, then the
custodial agency shall ensure that the committed person is
wearing security restraints in accordance with the custodial
agency's rules and procedures if the custodial agency
determines that restraints are necessary for the following
reasons: (i) to prevent physical harm to the committed person
or another person; (ii) because the committed person has a
history of disruptive behavior that has placed others in
potentially harmful situations or presents a substantial risk
of inflicting physical harm on himself or herself or others as
evidenced by recent behavior; or (iii) there is a well-founded
belief that the committed person presents a substantial risk of
flight. Under no circumstances may leg irons or shackles or
waist shackles be used on any pregnant female prisoner who is
in labor. In addition, restraint of a pregnant female prisoner
in the custody of the Cook County shall comply with Section
3-15003.6 of the Counties Code.
    The hospital or medical facility may establish protocols
for the receipt of committed persons in collaboration with the
Department of Corrections, county, or municipality,
specifically with regard to potentially violent persons.
    (b) If a committed person receives medical care and
treatment at a place other than an institution or facility of
the Department of Juvenile Justice, then the institution or
facility shall:
        (1) to the greatest extent practicable, notify the
    hospital or medical facility that is treating the committed
    person prior to the committed person's visit, and notify
    the hospital or medical facility of any significant
    medical, mental health, recent violent actions, or other
    safety concerns regarding the patient;
        (2) to the greatest extent practicable, ensure the
    transferred committed person is accompanied by the most
    comprehensive medical records possible;
        (3) provide: (A) at least one guard trained in
    custodial escort and custody of high-risk committed
    persons to accompany any committed person. The custodial
    agency shall attest to such training for custodial escort
    and custody of high-risk committed persons through: (i) the
    training of the Department of Corrections, or Department of
    Juvenile Justice, or Department of State Police, (ii) law
    enforcement training that is substantially equivalent to
    the training of the Department of Corrections, or
    Department of Juvenile Justice, or Department of State
    Police, or (iii) the training described in Section 35; or
    (B) 2 guards to accompany the committed person at all times
    during the visit to the hospital or medical facility; and
        (4) ensure that only medical personnel, Department of
    Juvenile Justice personnel, and visitors on the committed
    person's approved institutional visitors list may visit
    the committed person. Visitation by a person on the
    committed person's approved institutional visitors list
    shall be subject to the rules and procedures of the
    hospital or medical facility and the Department of Juvenile
    Justice. In any situation in which a committed person is
    being visited:
            (A) the name of the visitor must be listed per the
        facility's or institution's documentation;
            (B) the visitor shall submit to the search of his
        or her person or any personal property under his or her
        control at any time; and
            (C) the custodial agency may deny the committed
        person access to a telephone or limit the number of
        visitors the committed person may receive for purposes
        of safety.
    If a committed person receives medical care and treatment
at a place other than an institution or facility of the
Department of Juvenile Justice, then the Department of Juvenile
Justice shall ensure that the committed person is wearing
security restraints on either his or her wrists or ankles in
accordance with the rules and procedures of the Department of
Juvenile Justice if the Department of Juvenile Justice
determines that restraints are necessary for the following
reasons: (i) to prevent physical harm to the committed person
or another person; (ii) because the committed person has a
history of disruptive behavior that has placed others in
potentially harmful situations or presents a substantial risk
of inflicting physical harm on himself or herself or others as
evidenced by recent behavior; or (iii) there is a well-founded
belief that the committed person presents a substantial risk of
flight. Any restraints used on a committed person under this
paragraph shall be the least restrictive restraints necessary
to prevent flight or physical harm to the committed person or
another person. Restraints shall not be used on the committed
person as provided in this paragraph if medical personnel
determine that the restraints would impede medical treatment.
Under no circumstances may leg irons or shackles or waist
shackles be used on any pregnant female prisoner who is in
labor. In addition, restraint of a pregnant female prisoner in
the custody of the Cook County shall comply with Section
3-15003.6 of the Counties Code.
    The hospital or medical facility may establish protocols
for the receipt of committed persons in collaboration with the
Department of Juvenile Justice, specifically with regard to
persons recently exhibiting violence.
