| 2 | Be it enacted by the People of the State of Illinois, | ||||||
| 3 | represented in the General Assembly: | ||||||
| 4 | Section 5. The Birth Control Services to Minors Act is | ||||||
| 5 | amended by changing Section 1 as follows: | ||||||
| 6 | (325 ILCS 10/1) (from Ch. 111 1/2, par. 4651) | ||||||
| 7 | Sec. 1. | ||||||
| 8 | (a) As used in this Section: | ||||||

| 11 | of the Illinois Insurance Code, but does not include | ||||||
| 12 | sterilization. | ||||||
| 13 | "Contraceptive supplies" means all contraceptive drugs, | ||||||
| 14 | devices, and products approved by the federal Food and Drug | ||||||
| 15 | Administration to prevent pregnancy, including long-acting | ||||||
| 16 | reversible contraceptives, nonprescription oral hormonal | ||||||

| 13 | 5. as to whom the failure to provide such services would | ||||||
| 14 | create a serious health hazard; or | ||||||
| 15 | 6. who is referred for such services by a physician, | ||||||
| 16 | clergyman or a planned parenthood agency. | ||||||
