Information maintained by the Legislative Reference Bureau
Updating the database of the Illinois Compiled Statutes (ILCS) is an ongoing process. Recent laws may not yet be included in the ILCS database, but they are found on this site as Public Acts soon after they become law. For information concerning the relationship between statutes and Public Acts, refer to the Guide.

Because the statute database is maintained primarily for legislative drafting purposes, statutory changes are sometimes included in the statute database before they take effect. If the source note at the end of a Section of the statutes includes a Public Act that has not yet taken effect, the version of the law that is currently in effect may have already been removed from the database and you should refer to that Public Act to see the changes made to the current law.

405 ILCS 5/3-603

    (405 ILCS 5/3-603) (from Ch. 91 1/2, par. 3-603)
    Sec. 3-603. (a) If no physician, qualified examiner, psychiatrist, advanced practice psychiatric nurse, or clinical psychologist is immediately available or it is not possible after a diligent effort to obtain the certificate provided for in Section 3-602, the respondent may be detained for examination in a mental health facility upon presentation of the petition alone pending the obtaining of such a certificate.
    (b) In such instance the petition shall conform to the requirements of Section 3-601 and further specify that:
        1. the petitioner believes, as a result of his
    
personal observation, that the respondent is subject to involuntary admission on an inpatient basis;
        2. a diligent effort was made to obtain a certificate;
        3. no physician, qualified examiner, psychiatrist, or
    
clinical psychologist could be found who has examined or could examine the respondent; and
        4. a diligent effort has been made to convince the
    
respondent to appear voluntarily for examination by a physician, qualified examiner, psychiatrist, or clinical psychologist, unless the petitioner reasonably believes that effort would impose a risk of harm to the respondent or others.
