AN ACT concerning public health.
|
Be it enacted by the People of the State of Illinois,
|
represented in the General Assembly:
|
Section 1. Short title. This Act may be cited as the Public |
Self-Care of Diabetes Act.
|
Section 5. Purpose. The General Assembly finds that insulin |
injection is necessary for diabetics and their continued health |
and longevity. The General Assembly finds that forcing |
diabetics to administer their personal insulin injections out |
of public view is unnecessarily restrictive.
|
Section 10. Public self-care of diabetes location. A person |
with diabetes, or parent or legal guardian of a person with |
diabetes, may self-administer insulin or administer insulin |
for his or her child in any location, public or private, where |
the person, or the person's parent or legal guardian, is |
authorized to be, irrespective of whether the injection site is |
uncovered during or incidental to the administration of |
insulin.
|
Section 15. Illegal drugs. Nothing in this Act shall be |
construed to authorize the use of any illegal drug.
