AN ACT concerning health.
Be it enacted by the People of the State of Illinois,
represented in the General Assembly:
Section 5. The Consent by Minors to Health Care Services
Act is amended by changing Section 2 as follows:
(410 ILCS 210/2) (from Ch. 111, par. 4502)
Sec. 2. Any parent, including a parent who is a minor, may
consent to the the performance upon his or her child of a
health care service by a physician licensed to practice
medicine in all its branches, a chiropractic physician, a
licensed optometrist, a licensed advanced practice registered
nurse, or a licensed physician assistant or a dental procedure
by a licensed dentist. The consent of a parent who is a minor
shall not be voidable because of such minority, but, for such
purpose, a parent who is a minor shall be deemed to have the
same legal capacity to act and shall have the same powers and
obligations as has a person of legal age.
