Sec. 3-3-3.2. Medical parole. Notwithstanding any other provision of law to the contrary, any committed person who is serving a sentence, including one who has not yet served the minimum term of the sentence, who is diagnosed as suffering from a terminal condition so as to render the committed person likely to live less than 9 months may be released on medical parole to a hospital, hospice, other licensed inpatient facility, or suitable housing accommodation as specified by the Board. The Department shall promptly notify the Board upon receipt of medical information that a committed person has a diagnosis of a terminal condition with less than 9 months to live which prevents him or her from filing a petition on his or her own. As used in this Section, "other licensed inpatient facility" or "suitable housing accommodation" does not include a facility licensed under the Nursing Home Care Act.".
