A BILL FOR
SB0846 LRB096 06916 RPM 17002 b
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 Medical Procedures 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
medical or surgical procedure by a physician licensed to
practice medicine and surgery, an advanced practice nurse who
has a written collaborative agreement with a collaborating
physician that authorizes provision of services for minors, or
a physician assistant who has been delegated authority to
provide services for minors 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.
