1 | AMENDMENT TO SENATE BILL 586
| ||||||
2 | AMENDMENT NO. ______. Amend Senate Bill 586 by replacing | ||||||
3 | everything after the enacting clause with the following:
| ||||||
4 | "Section 5. The Mental Health and Developmental | ||||||
5 | Disabilities Code is amended by changing Section 1-114 as | ||||||
6 | follows:
| ||||||
7 | (405 ILCS 5/1-114) (from Ch. 91 1/2, par. 1-114)
| ||||||
8 | Sec. 1-114.
"Mental health facility" means any licensed | ||||||
9 | private hospital,
institution, or facility or section thereof, | ||||||
10 | and any facility, or section
thereof, operated by the State or | ||||||
11 | a political subdivision thereof for the
treatment of persons | ||||||
12 | with mental illness and includes all hospitals,
institutions, | ||||||
13 | clinics, evaluation facilities, and mental health centers | ||||||
14 | which
provide treatment for such persons. However, a facility | ||||||
15 | shall not constitute a mental health facility for a person | ||||||
16 | whose admission to the facility is for the sole purpose of |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | receiving medical care that is unrelated to a mental illness, | ||||||
2 | and when that person consents in writing to continue existing | ||||||
3 | mental health treatment, if any, during the same admission if: | ||||||
4 | (i) the mental health treatment remains incidental to the | ||||||
5 | purpose of the medical admission and (ii) such treatment | ||||||
6 | remains voluntary and does not deviate from the | ||||||
7 | already-existing prescribed treatment. A person's written | ||||||
8 | consent to newly prescribed anxiolytic medications in | ||||||
9 | connection with surgery or for the treatment of side effects | ||||||
10 | of medical care that is unrelated to mental health treatment | ||||||
11 | does not constitute admission to a mental health facility. | ||||||
12 | Additionally, a facility shall not constitute a mental health | ||||||
13 | facility for a person whose admission to the facility is for | ||||||
14 | the sole purpose of receiving medical care that is unrelated | ||||||
15 | to mental illness and where that treatment is solely an | ||||||
16 | evaluation of the psychological condition of the person; | ||||||
17 | provided, that the non-psychiatric medical condition for which | ||||||
18 | the person has been admitted continues to require inpatient | ||||||
19 | care. Once the non-psychiatric medical condition or conditions | ||||||
20 | no longer require inpatient care, the person must be | ||||||
21 | discharged from the facility promptly unless the person has | ||||||
22 | been admitted pursuant to Chapter III of this Code.
| ||||||
23 | (Source: P.A. 88-380.)
| ||||||
24 | Section 99. Effective date. This Act takes effect upon | ||||||
25 | becoming law.".
