12 (b) Decisions whether to forgo life-sustaining treatment
13 on behalf of a patient without decisional capacity are
14 lawful, without resort to the courts or legal process, if the
15 patient has a qualifying condition and if the decisions are
16 made in accordance with one of the following paragraphs in
17 this subsection and otherwise meet the requirements of this
18 Act:
19 (1) Decisions whether to forgo life-sustaining
20 treatment on behalf of a minor or an adult patient who
21 lacks decisional capacity may be made by a surrogate
22 decision maker or makers in consultation with the
23 attending physician, in the order or priority provided in
24 Section 25. A surrogate decision maker shall make
25 decisions for the adult patient conforming as closely as
26 possible to what the patient would have done or intended
27 under the circumstances, taking into account evidence
28 that includes, but is not limited to, the patient's
29 personal, philosophical, religious and moral beliefs and
30 ethical values relative to the purpose of life, sickness,
31 medical procedures, suffering, and death. Where
32 possible, the surrogate shall determine how the patient
SB1412 Engrossed -29- LRB093 10132 LCB 10385 b
1 would have weighed the burdens and benefits of initiating
2 or continuing life-sustaining treatment against the
3 burdens and benefits of that treatment. In the event an
4 unrevoked advance directive, such as a living will, a
5 declaration for mental health treatment, or a power of
6 attorney for health care, is no longer valid due to a
7 technical deficiency or is not applicable to the
8 patient's condition, that document may be used as
9 evidence of a patient's wishes. The absence of a living
10 will, declaration for mental health treatment, or power
11 of attorney for health care shall not give rise to any
12 presumption as to the patient's preferences regarding the
13 initiation or continuation of life-sustaining procedures.
14 If the adult patient's wishes are unknown and remain
15 unknown after reasonable efforts to discern them or if
16 the patient is a minor, the decision shall be made on the
17 basis of the patient's best interests as determined by
18 the surrogate decision maker. In determining the
19 patient's best interests, the surrogate shall weigh the
20 burdens on and benefits to the patient of initiating or
21 continuing life-sustaining treatment against the burdens
22 and benefits of that treatment and shall take into
23 account any other information, including the views of
24 family and friends, that the surrogate decision maker
25 believes the patient would have considered if able to act
26 for herself or himself.
27 (2) Decisions whether to forgo life-sustaining
28 treatment on behalf of a minor or an adult patient who
29 lacks decisional capacity, but without any surrogate
30 decision maker or guardian being available determined
31 after reasonable inquiry by the health care provider, may
32 be made by a court appointed guardian. A court appointed
33 guardian shall be treated as a surrogate for the purposes
34 of this Act.

1 (b-5) Decisions concerning medical treatment on behalf
2 of a patient without decisional capacity are lawful, without
3 resort to the courts or legal process, if the patient does
4 not have a qualifying condition and if decisions are made in
5 accordance with one of the following paragraphs in this
6 subsection and otherwise meet the requirements of this Act:
7 (1) Decisions concerning medical treatment on
8 behalf of a minor or adult patient who lacks decisional
9 capacity may be made by a surrogate decision maker or
10 makers in consultation with the attending physician, in
11 the order of priority provided in Section 25 with the
12 exception that decisions to forgo life-sustaining
13 treatment may be made only when a patient has a
14 qualifying condition. A surrogate decision maker shall
15 make decisions for the patient conforming as closely as
16 possible to what the patient would have done or intended
17 under the circumstances, taking into account evidence
18 that includes, but is not limited to, the patient's
19 personal, philosophical, religious, and moral beliefs and
20 ethical values relative to the purpose of life, sickness,
21 medical procedures, suffering, and death. In the event
22 an unrevoked advance directive, such as a living will, a
23 declaration for mental health treatment, or a power of
24 attorney for health care, is no longer valid due to a
25 technical deficiency or is not applicable to the
26 patient's condition, that document may be used as
27 evidence of a patient's wishes. The absence of a living
28 will, declaration for mental health treatment, or power
29 of attorney for health care shall not give rise to any
30 presumption as to the patient's preferences regarding any
31 process. If the adult patient's wishes are unknown and
32 remain unknown after reasonable efforts to discern them
33 or if the patient is a minor, the decision shall be made
34 on the basis of the patient's best interests as
SB1412 Engrossed -31- LRB093 10132 LCB 10385 b
1 determined by the surrogate decision maker. In
2 determining the patient's best interests, the surrogate
3 shall weigh the burdens on and benefits to the patient of
4 the treatment against the burdens and benefits of that
5 treatment and shall take into account any other
6 information, including the views of family and friends,
7 that the surrogate decision maker believes the patient
8 would have considered if able to act for herself or
9 himself.
10 (2) Decisions concerning medical treatment on
11 behalf of a minor or adult patient who lacks decisional
12 capacity, but without any surrogate decision maker or
13 guardian being available as determined after reasonable
14 inquiry by the health care provider, may be made by a
15 court appointed guardian. A court appointed guardian
16 shall be treated as a surrogate for the purposes of this
17 Act.
18 (c) For the purposes of this Act, a patient or surrogate
19 decision maker is presumed to have decisional capacity in the
20 absence of actual notice to the contrary without regard to
21 advanced age. With respect to a patient, a diagnosis of
22 mental illness or mental retardation, of itself, is not a bar
23 to a determination of decisional capacity. A determination
24 that an adult patient lacks decisional capacity shall be made
25 by the attending physician to a reasonable degree of medical
26 certainty. The determination shall be in writing in the
27 patient's medical record and shall set forth the attending
28 physician's opinion regarding the cause, nature, and duration
29 of the patient's lack of decisional capacity. Before
30 implementation of a decision by a surrogate decision maker to
31 forgo life-sustaining treatment, at least one other qualified
32 physician must concur in the determination that an adult
33 patient lacks decisional capacity. The concurring
34 determination shall be made in writing in the patient's
SB1412 Engrossed -32- LRB093 10132 LCB 10385 b
1 medical record after personal examination of the patient.
2 The attending physician shall inform the patient that it has
3 been determined that the patient lacks decisional capacity
4 and that a surrogate decision maker will be making
5 life-sustaining treatment decisions on behalf of the patient.
6 Moreover, the patient shall be informed of the identity of
7 the surrogate decision maker and any decisions made by that
8 surrogate. If the person identified as the surrogate
9 decision maker is not a court appointed guardian and the
10 patient objects to the statutory surrogate decision maker or
11 any decision made by that surrogate decision maker, then the
12 provisions of this Act shall not apply.
13 (d) A surrogate decision maker acting on behalf of the
14 patient shall express decisions to forgo life-sustaining
15 treatment to the attending physician and one adult witness
16 who is at least 18 years of age. This decision and the
17 substance of any known discussion before making the decision
18 shall be documented by the attending physician in the
19 patient's medical record and signed by the witness.
20 (e) The existence of a qualifying condition shall be
21 documented in writing in the patient's medical record by the
22 attending physician and shall include its cause and nature,
23 if known. The written concurrence of another qualified
24 physician is also required.
25 (f) Once the provisions of this Act are complied with,
26 the attending physician shall thereafter promptly implement
27 the decision to forgo life-sustaining treatment on behalf of
28 the patient unless he or she believes that the surrogate
29 decision maker is not acting in accordance with his or her
30 responsibilities under this Act, or is unable to do so for
31 reasons of conscience or other personal views or beliefs.
32 (g) In the event of a patient's death as determined by a
33 physician, all life-sustaining treatment and other medical
34 care is to be terminated, unless the patient is an organ
SB1412 Engrossed -33- LRB093 10132 LCB 10385 b

2 be applied or continued temporarily.

5 Sec. 65. Do-not-resuscitate orders.
6 (a) An individual of sound mind and having reached the
7 age of majority or having obtained the status of an
8 emancipated person pursuant to the Emancipation of Mature
9 Minors Act may execute a document (consistent with the
10 Department of Public Health Uniform DNR Order Form) directing
11 that resuscitating efforts shall not be implemented. Such an
12 order may also be executed by an attending physician.
13 Notwithstanding the existence of a DNR order, appropriate
14 organ donation treatment may be applied or continued
15 temporarily in the event of the patient's death, in
16 accordance with subsection (g) of Section 20 of this Act, if
17 the patient is an organ donor.
18 (b) Consent to a DNR order may be obtained from the
19 individual, or from another person at the individual's
20 direction, or from the individual's legal guardian, agent
21 under a power of attorney for health care, or surrogate
22 decision maker, and witnessed by 2 individuals 18 years of
23 age or older.
24 (c) The DNR order may, but need not, be in the form
25 adopted by the Department of Public Health pursuant to
26 Section 2310-600 of the Department of Public Health Powers
27 and Duties Law (20 ILCS 2310/2310-600).
28 (d) A health care professional or health care provider
29 may presume, in the absence of knowledge to the contrary,
30 that a completed Department of Public Health Uniform DNR
31 Order form or a copy of that form is a valid DNR order. A
32 health care professional or health care provider, or an
33 employee of a health care professional or health care

1 provider, who in good faith complies with a
2 do-not-resuscitate order made in accordance with this Act is
3 not, as a result of that compliance, subject to any criminal
4 or civil liability, except for willful and wanton misconduct,
5 and may not be found to have committed an act of
6 unprofessional conduct.

8 Section 45. The Illinois Power of Attorney Act is
9 amended by changing Sections 4-7 and 4-10 as follows:
10 (755 ILCS 45/4-7) (from Ch. 110 1/2, par. 804-7)
11 Sec. 4-7. Duties of health care providers and others in
12 relation to health care agencies. Each health care provider
13 and each other person with whom an agent deals under a health
14 care agency shall be subject to the following duties and
15 responsibilities:
16 (a) It is the responsibility of the agent or patient to
17 notify the health care provider of the existence of the
18 health care agency and any amendment or revocation thereof.
19 A health care provider furnished with a copy of a health care
20 agency shall make it a part of the patient's medical records
21 and shall enter in the records any change in or termination
22 of the health care agency by the principal that becomes known
23 to the provider. Whenever a provider believes a patient may
24 lack capacity to give informed consent to health care which
25 the provider deems necessary, the provider shall consult with
26 any available health care agent known to the provider who
27 then has power to act for the patient under a health care
28 agency.
29 (b) A health care decision made by an agent in
30 accordance with the terms of a health care agency shall be
31 complied with by every health care provider to whom the
32 decision is communicated, subject to the provider's right to
SB1412 Engrossed -35- LRB093 10132 LCB 10385 b
1 administer treatment for the patient's comfort care or
2 alleviation of pain; but if the provider is unwilling to
3 comply with the agent's decision, the provider shall promptly
4 inform the agent who shall then be responsible to make the
5 necessary arrangements for the transfer of the patient to
6 another provider. It is understood that a provider who is
7 unwilling to comply with the agent's decision will continue
8 to afford reasonably necessary consultation and care in
9 connection with the transfer.
10 (c) At the patient's expense and subject to reasonable
11 rules of the health care provider to prevent disruption of
12 the patient's health care, each health care provider shall
13 give an agent authorized to receive such information under a
14 health care agency the same right the principal has to
15 examine and copy any part or all of the patient's medical
16 records that the agent deems relevant to the exercise of the
17 agent's powers, whether the records relate to mental health
18 or any other medical condition and whether they are in the
19 possession of or maintained by any physician, psychiatrist,
20 psychologist, therapist, hospital, nursing home or other
21 health care provider.
22 (d) If and to the extent a health care agency empowers
23 the agent to (1) make an anatomical gift on behalf of the
24 principal under the IllinoisUniform Anatomical Gift Act, as
25 now or hereafter amended, or (2) authorize an autopsy of the
26 principal's body pursuant to Section 2 of "An Act in relation
27 to autopsy of dead bodies", approved August 13, 1965, as now
28 or hereafter amended, or (3) direct the disposition of the
29 principal's remains, the decision by an authorized agent as
30 to anatomical gift, autopsy approval or remains disposition
31 shall be deemed the act of the principal and shall control
32 over the decision of other persons who might otherwise have
33 priority; and each person to whom a direction by the agent in
34 accordance with the terms of the agency is communicated shall
SB1412 Engrossed -36- LRB093 10132 LCB 10385 b
1 comply with such direction.

4 Sec. 4-10. Statutory short form power of attorney for
5 health care.
6 (a) The following form (sometimes also referred to in
7 this Act as the "statutory health care power") may be used to
8 grant an agent powers with respect to the principal's own
9 health care; but the statutory health care power is not
10 intended to be exclusive nor to cover delegation of a
11 parent's power to control the health care of a minor child,
12 and no provision of this Article shall be construed to
13 invalidate or bar use by the principal of any other or
14 different form of power of attorney for health care.
15 Nonstatutory health care powers must be executed by the
16 principal, designate the agent and the agent's powers, and
17 comply with Section 4-5 of this Article, but they need not be
18 witnessed or conform in any other respect to the statutory
19 health care power. When a power of attorney in substantially
20 the following form is used, including the "notice" paragraph
21 at the beginning in capital letters, it shall have the
22 meaning and effect prescribed in this Act. The statutory
23 health care power may be included in or combined with any
24 other form of power of attorney governing property or other
25 matters.

29 institutions, homes, residential or nursing facilities,

17 patients in need of them. Through this Act, laws relating to
18 organ and tissue donation and transplantation are

12 executed in any of the ways set out in Section 5-205, and
13 shall take effect upon the individual's death without the
14 need to obtain the consent of any survivor. An anatomical
15 gift made by an agent of an individual, as authorized by the

32 specific direction regarding organ donation,

21 in which an available person can be found, then no gift of
22 all or any part of the decedent's body shall be accepted.
23 (c) For the purposes of this Act, a person will not be
24 considered "available" for the giving of consent or refusal
25 if:

5 (d)(e) The rights of the donee created by the gift are
6 paramount to the rights of others except as provided by
7 Section 5-458(d).

28 Sec. 5-205. Manner of Executing Anatomical Gifts. (a) A
29 gift of all or part of the body under Section 5-53 (a) may
30 be made by will. The gift becomes effective upon the death of
31 the testator without waiting for probate. If the will is not
32 probated, or if it is declared invalid for testamentary
SB1412 Engrossed -51- LRB093 10132 LCB 10385 b
1 purposes, the gift, to the extent that it has been acted upon
2 in good faith, is nevertheless valid and effective.
3 (b) A gift of all or part of the body under Section 5-5
4 3 (a) may also be made by a written, signed document other
5 than a will. The gift becomes effective upon the death of the
6 donor. The document, which may be a card or a valid driver's
7 license designed to be carried on the person, must be signed
8 by the donor in the presence of 2 witnesses who must sign the
9 document in his presence and who thereby certify that he was
10 of sound mind and memory and free from any undue influence
11 and knows the objects of his bounty and affection. Such a
12 gift may also be made by properly executing the form provided
13 by the Secretary of State on the reverse side of the donor's
14 driver's license pursuant to subsection (b) of Section 6-110
15 of The Illinois Vehicle Code. Delivery of the document of
16 gift during the donor's lifetime is not necessary to make the
17 gift valid.
18 (c) The gift may be made to a specified donee or without
19 specifying a donee. If the latter, the gift may be accepted
20 by the attending physician as donee upon or following death.
21 If the gift is made to a specified donee who is not available
22 at the time and place of death, then if made for the purpose
23 of transplantation, it shall be effectuated in accordance
24 with Section 5-25, and if made for any other purpose the
25 attending physician upon or following death, in the absence
26 of any expressed indication that the donor desired otherwise,
27 may accept the gift as donee. The physician who becomes a
28 donee under this subsection shall not participate either
29 physically or financially in the procedures for removing or
30 transplanting a part.
31 (d) Notwithstanding Section 5-458 (b), the donor may
32 designate in his will, card, or other document of gift the
33 surgeon or physician to carry out the appropriate procedures.
34 In the absence of a designation or if the designee is not
SB1412 Engrossed -52- LRB093 10132 LCB 10385 b
1 available, the donee or other person authorized to accept the
2 gift may employ or authorize any surgeon or physician for the
3 purpose.
4 (e) Any gift by a person designated in Section 5-53 (b)
5 shall be made by a document signed by him or made by his
6 telegraphic, recorded telephonic, or other recorded message.

29 reason to believe that an anatomical gift is contrary to the
30 decedent's religious beliefs, to consent to the gift of all
31 or any part of the decedent's body for any purpose specified
32 in Section 5-10 of this Act:

27 donation is requested, consent or refusal may be obtained
28 only from the person or persons in the highest priority class
29 available. If the hospital administrator, or his or her
30 designated representative, the designated organ procurement
31 agency, or the tissue bank is unable to obtain consent from

1 document was executed under this Act.
2 (d) When there is a suitable candidate for organ
3 donation, as described in subsection (a), or if consent to
4 remove organs and tissues is granted, the hospital shall
5 notify the applicable federally designated organ procurement
6 agency. The federally designated organ procurement agency
