18need of medical or surgical treatment but is incapable of
19giving consent thereto shall receive such medical or surgical

21person's behalf. Before the chief administrative officer
22consents, he or she shall obtain the advice of one or more
23physicians licensed to practice medicine in all its branches in

2    disfigurement; and
3        (2) that the person is not capable of giving consent to
4    such treatment; the chief administrative officer may give
5    consent for such medical or surgical treatment, and such
6    consent shall be deemed to be the consent of the person for
7    all purposes, including, but not limited to, the authority
8    of a physician to give such treatment.
9    (e-5) If a physician providing medical care to a committed
10person on behalf of the Department advises the chief
11administrative officer that the committed person's mental or
12physical health has deteriorated as a result of the cessation
13of ingestion of food or liquid to the point where medical or
14surgical treatment is required to prevent death, damage, or
15impairment to bodily functions, the chief administrative
16officer may authorize such medical or surgical treatment.
17    (f) In the event that the person requires medical care and
18treatment at a place other than the institution or facility,
19the person may be removed therefrom under conditions prescribed
20by the Department. Neither the Department of Corrections nor
21the Department of Juvenile Justice may require a committed
22person or person committed to any facility operated by the
23Department of Juvenile Justice, as set forth in Section

2for each visit for medical or dental services. The amount of
3each co-payment shall be deducted from the committed person's
4individual account. A committed person who has a chronic
5illness, as defined by Department rules and regulations, shall
6be exempt from the $5 co-payment for treatment of the chronic
7illness. A committed person shall not be subject to a $5
8co-payment for follow-up visits ordered by a physician, who is
9employed by, or contracts with, the Department. A committed
10person who is indigent is exempt from the $5 co-payment and is
11entitled to receive medical or dental services on the same
12basis as a committed person who is financially able to afford
13the co-payment. For purposes of this Section only, "indigent"
14means a committed person who has $20 or less in his or her
15Inmate Trust Fund at the time of such services and for the 30

23of commitment or any woman giving birth to a child after her
24commitment, may arrange through the Department of Children and

6facility of the Department or the Department of Juvenile
7Justice, the Department must provide the inmate with
8appropriate information verbally, in writing, by video, or
9other electronic means, concerning HIV and AIDS. The Department
10shall develop the informational materials in consultation with

14with no copayment for the test. Pre-test information shall be
15provided to the committed person and informed consent obtained
16as required in subsection (d) of Section 3 and Section 5 of the

10who is known to be infected with HIV, or who has been tested
11for HIV within the previous 180 days and whose documented HIV
12test result is available to the Department electronically. The
13testing provided under this subsection (l) shall consist of a
14test approved by the Illinois Department of Public Health to
15determine the presence of HIV infection, based upon
16recommendations of the United States Centers for Disease
17Control and Prevention. If the test result is positive, a
18reliable supplemental test based upon recommendations of the
19United States Centers for Disease Control and Prevention shall
20be administered.
