    AN ACT to amend the Civil Administrative Code of Illinois
by changing Section 55.81.

    Be it enacted by the People of  the  State  of  Illinois,
represented in the General Assembly:

    Section  5.  The Civil Administrative Code of Illinois is
amended by changing Section 55.81 as follows:

    (20 ILCS 2310/55.81)
    Sec. 55.81.  Violent injury reporting.
    (a)  The  Illinois  Department  of  Public  Health  shall
require hospitals  and  other  facilities  in  the  State  to
report, in a manner determined by rule, each injury allegedly
caused  by  a  violent act. The Illinois Department of Public
Health  shall  coordinate  this   reporting   with   existing
reporting  requirements  such  as  trauma  and  head and neck
injury reporting to reduce  duplication  of  reporting.   All
information  and  data  reported  shall  be  confidential and
privileged in accordance with Part 21 of Article VIII of  the
Code  of  Civil  Procedure,  except as provided in subsection
(b).
    (b)  The  Illinois  Department  of  Public  Health  shall
compile the reports required under subsection (a)  and  shall
determine  the  impact  of  violent  acts  on  children.  The
Department shall, using only data from which the identity  of
an   individual  cannot  be  ascertained,  reconstructed,  or
verified and to which the identity of an individual cannot be
linked by a recipient of the data, report its findings to the
General Assembly by December 31,  1997,  and  every  2  years
thereafter.
