1 | AMENDMENT TO SENATE BILL 333
| ||||||
2 | AMENDMENT NO. ______. Amend Senate Bill 333 by replacing | ||||||
3 | everything after the enacting clause with the following:
| ||||||
4 | "Section 5. The Criminal Identification Act is amended by | ||||||
5 | changing Section 3.2 as follows:
| ||||||
6 | (20 ILCS 2630/3.2) (from Ch. 38, par. 206-3.2)
| ||||||
7 | Sec. 3.2.
(a) It is the duty of any person conducting or | ||||||
8 | operating a medical facility,
or any physician or nurse , as | ||||||
9 | soon as treatment permits , to notify the local
law enforcement | ||||||
10 | agency of that jurisdiction upon the application for
treatment | ||||||
11 | of a person who is not accompanied by a law enforcement | ||||||
12 | officer,
when it reasonably appears that the person requesting | ||||||
13 | treatment has
received:
| ||||||
14 | (1) any injury resulting from the discharge of a | ||||||
15 | firearm; or
| ||||||
16 | (2) any injury sustained in the commission of or as a |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | victim of a
criminal offense ; or . | ||||||
2 | (3) any injury sustained as a victim of a criminal | ||||||
3 | offense. | ||||||
4 | (a-5) Except when it reasonably appears that the person | ||||||
5 | requesting treatment is a sexual assault survivor, a person | ||||||
6 | conducting or operating a medical facility, or a physician or | ||||||
7 | nurse at the medical facility, must notify the local law | ||||||
8 | enforcement as follows: | ||||||
9 | (1) If a sexual assault survivor consents to | ||||||
10 | notification being made, local law enforcement must be | ||||||
11 | notified as soon as treatment permits. If the sexual | ||||||
12 | assault or sexual abuse occurred in another jurisdiction, | ||||||
13 | the law enforcement officer taking the report must submit | ||||||
14 | the report to the law enforcement agency having | ||||||
15 | jurisdiction as provided in subsection (c) of Section 20 | ||||||
16 | of the Sexual Assault Incident Procedure Act. | ||||||
17 | (2) If after being advised of options for notification | ||||||
18 | by a health care provider in a manner that ensures that the | ||||||
19 | decision is not made under duress or as a result of | ||||||
20 | influence from a third party, a sexual assault survivor | ||||||
21 | does not consent to notification being made as soon as | ||||||
22 | treatment permits, notification to the law enforcement | ||||||
23 | agency having jurisdiction must be delayed until after the | ||||||
24 | sexual assault survivor leaves the outpatient treatment | ||||||
25 | location, but no later than 24 hours after the sexual | ||||||
26 | assault survivor leaves. If the law enforcement agency |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | having jurisdiction cannot be reasonably determined, then | ||||||
2 | notification shall be made to the local law enforcement | ||||||
3 | agency of the medical facility. This requirement to delay | ||||||
4 | notifying law enforcement does not change the obligations | ||||||
5 | of mandated reporters under the Abused and Neglected Child | ||||||
6 | Reporting Act, the Adult Protective Services Act, or the | ||||||
7 | Abused and Neglected Long Term Care Facility Residents | ||||||
8 | Reporting Act. | ||||||
9 | (3) If a sexual assault survivor does not consent to | ||||||
10 | notification being made as soon as treatment permits and | ||||||
11 | only consents to the collection and storage of evidence, | ||||||
12 | the person conducting or operating a medical facility, or | ||||||
13 | a physician or nurse at the medical facility, must make | ||||||
14 | the notification in accordance with Section 6.6 or 6.6-1 | ||||||
15 | of the Sexual Assault Survivors Emergency Treatment Act. | ||||||
16 | Law enforcement may not be given any personal identifying | ||||||
17 | information for the sexual assault survivor other than | ||||||
18 | using the unique sexual assault evidence kit | ||||||
19 | identification number assigned to the Illinois State | ||||||
20 | Police evidence collection kit or the sexual assault | ||||||
21 | survivor's medical record number. The medical facility, | ||||||
22 | physician, or nurse must record the unique sexual assault | ||||||
23 | evidence kit identification number in the medical record, | ||||||
24 | if one exists, and shall provide the number to the sexual | ||||||
25 | assault survivor or the sexual assault survivor's designee | ||||||
26 | at the time of treatment and later at the request of the |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | sexual assault survivor or their designee. | ||||||
2 | (4) The sexual assault survivor's decision regarding | ||||||
3 | notification of law enforcement must be documented in the | ||||||
4 | medical record. The documentation must also affirm that | ||||||
5 | the sexual assault survivor's decision was made | ||||||
6 | independently and not under duress or as a result of | ||||||
7 | influence of a third party. | ||||||
8 | (5) The notification to law enforcement must be | ||||||
9 | limited to the following information: | ||||||
10 | (A) the date and time the sexual assault survivor | ||||||
11 | presented for treatment; | ||||||
12 | (B) the nature of the criminal offense; | ||||||
13 | (C) the municipality, township, or county where | ||||||
14 | the criminal offense occurred; | ||||||
15 | (D) when necessary to prevent serious and imminent | ||||||
16 | physical harm to others, information that identifies a | ||||||
17 | perpetrator who poses a serious and imminent threat to | ||||||
18 | an identifiable group or individual other than the | ||||||
19 | victim; | ||||||
20 | (E) when applicable, the unique sexual assault | ||||||
21 | evidence kit identification number; and | ||||||
22 | (F) additional information and details about the | ||||||
23 | criminal offense or the sexual assault survivor that | ||||||
24 | the sexual assault survivor gives consent to be given, | ||||||
25 | and this consent must be documented in the medical | ||||||
26 | record. |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | (6) When a sexual assault survivor arrives at the | ||||||
2 | medical facility unconscious, as soon as treatment | ||||||
3 | permits, the health care provider shall make at least 2 | ||||||
4 | attempts to contact a surrogate decision maker, as defined | ||||||
5 | by the Health Care Surrogate Act. If no surrogate decision | ||||||
6 | maker responds and the survivor remains unconscious, the | ||||||
7 | medical facility, physician, or nurse shall notify law | ||||||
8 | enforcement. | ||||||
9 | (7) Nothing in this subsection permits a delay in | ||||||
10 | notification to law enforcement when a patient admits to | ||||||
11 | committing a violent crime. | ||||||
12 | (8) Nothing in this subsection permits a delay in | ||||||
13 | notification to law enforcement when a sexual assault | ||||||
14 | survivor is admitted or treated for an injury due to | ||||||
15 | discharge of a firearm or life-threatening injuries. | ||||||
16 | Notification related to the sexual assault shall otherwise | ||||||
17 | meet the requirements of this subsection.
| ||||||
18 | (9) Nothing in this subsection changes the obligations | ||||||
19 | of mandated reporters under the Abused and Neglected Child | ||||||
20 | Reporting Act, the Adult Protective Services Act, and the | ||||||
21 | Abused and Neglected Long Term Care Facility Residents | ||||||
22 | Reporting Act, and nothing in this subsection requires a | ||||||
23 | delay in notification of law enforcement by the Department | ||||||
24 | of Children and Family Services, Adult Protective | ||||||
25 | Services, or any other agency receiving a mandated report. | ||||||
26 | Any hospital, physician or nurse shall be forever held |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | harmless from
any civil liability for their reasonable | ||||||
2 | compliance with the provisions of
this Section. | ||||||
3 | (b) Notwithstanding subsection (a), nothing in this
| ||||||
4 | Section shall be construed to require the reporting of lawful
| ||||||
5 | health care activity, whether such activity may constitute a
| ||||||
6 | violation of another state's law. | ||||||
7 | (c) As used in this Section: | ||||||
8 | "Law enforcement agency having jurisdiction" and "sexual | ||||||
9 | assault survivor" have the meanings given to those terms in | ||||||
10 | Section 1a of the Sexual Assault Survivors Emergency Treatment | ||||||
