Synopsis As Introduced Amends the Department of Public Health Powers and Duties Law of the Civil Administrative Code of Illinois. Provides that it is not a violation of law for a person to perform a solid organ transplant of an organ from an HIV positive donor to a person who has tested positive for exposure to HIV or any other identified causative agent of AIDS and who is in immediate threat of death unless the transplant is performed. Provides that a tissue bank that provides an organ from an HIV positive donor under this provision may not be criminally or civilly liable for the furnishing of that organ. Effective immediately.
House Committee Amendment No. 1 Deletes everything after the enacting clause. Reinserts the provision of the bill as introduced but changes references from HIV positive donor to HIV infected donor. Defines HIV infected donor as a deceased donor who was infected with HIV or a living donor known to be infected with HIV and who is willing to donate a part or all of one or more of his organs.
