    (410 ILCS 210/4)  (from Ch. 111, par. 4504)



    Sec. 4. Sexually transmitted disease; drug or alcohol 
abuse. 
Notwithstanding any other provision of law, a minor 12 
years of
age or older who may have come into contact with any 
sexually transmitted disease, or
may be determined to be an 
intoxicated person or a person with a substance use disorder, 
as defined in the Substance Use Disorder Act, or who
may have a 
family member who abuses drugs or alcohol, may give consent to

the furnishing of health care services or counseling related to 
the prevention, diagnosis, or
treatment of the disease. Each 
incident of sexually transmitted disease shall be
reported to 
the State Department of Public Health or the local board of

health in accordance with regulations adopted under statute or 
ordinance.
The consent of the parent, parents, or legal 
guardian of a minor shall not
be necessary to authorize health 
care services or counseling related to the
prevention, 
diagnosis, or treatment of sexually transmitted disease or drug

use or alcohol
consumption by the minor or the effects on the 
minor of drug or alcohol
abuse by a member of the minor's 
family. The consent of the minor shall be
valid and binding as 
if the minor had achieved his or her majority. The
consent 
shall not be voidable nor subject to later disaffirmance 
because
of minority.

    Anyone involved in the furnishing of health services care 
to the minor or
counseling related to the prevention, 
diagnosis, or treatment of the minor's disease or
drug or 
alcohol use by the minor or a member of the minor's family 
shall,
upon the minor's consent, make reasonable efforts, to 
involve the family of
the minor in his or her treatment, if the 
person furnishing treatment
believes that the involvement of 
the family will not be detrimental to the
progress and care of 
the minor.  Reasonable effort shall be extended to
assist the 
minor in accepting the involvement of his or her family in the

care and treatment being given.
