 1        AN ACT to  amend  the  Juvenile  Court  Act  of  1987  by
 2    changing Section 2-19.

 3        Be  it  enacted  by  the People of the State of Illinois,
 4    represented in the General Assembly:

 5        Section 5.  The Juvenile Court Act of 1987 is amended  by
 6    changing Section 2-19 as follows:

 7        (705 ILCS 405/2-19) (from Ch. 37, par. 802-19)
 8        Sec.  2-19.  Preliminary  orders after filing a petition.
 9    In all cases involving physical abuse the court shall  order,
10    and  in all cases involving neglect or sexual abuse the court
11    may order, an examination of the child under Section 2-11  of
12    this  Act  or by a physician appointed or designated for this
13    purpose by the  court.   As  part  of  the  examination,  the
14    physician  shall  arrange to have color photographs taken, as
15    soon as practical, of areas of trauma visible  on  the  child
16    and  may,  if  indicated,  arrange  to  have  a  radiological
17    examination  performed  on  the child.  The physician, on the
18    completion of the examination, shall forward the  results  of
19    the  examination  together  with the color photographs to the
20    State's Attorney of the county of the court ordering the such
21     examination. The court may dispense with the examination  in
22    those  cases  which were commenced on the basis of a physical
23    examination by a physician.  Unless  color  photographs  have
24    already  been  taken  or unless there are no areas of visible
25    trauma, the court shall arrange  to  have  color  photographs
26    taken if no such examination is conducted.
