| ||||||
2 | Be it enacted by the People of the State of Illinois,
| ||||||
3 | represented in the General Assembly:
| ||||||
4 | Section 5. The Mental Health and Developmental | ||||||
5 | Disabilities Code is amended by changing Sections 2-108, 2-109, | ||||||
6 | 3-602, 3-603, 3-610, 3-702, 3-703, 3-752, 3-753, and 3-807 and | ||||||
7 | by adding Section 1-101.3 as follows: | ||||||
8 | (405 ILCS 5/1-101.3 new) | ||||||
9 | Sec. 1-101.3. Advanced practice psychiatric nurse. | ||||||
10 | "Advanced practice psychiatric nurse" means a nurse who is | ||||||
11 | licensed to practice as an advanced
practice registered nurse | ||||||
12 | under Section 65-5 of the Nurse Practice Act and has been | ||||||
13 | certified by the American Nurses Credentialing Center as a | ||||||
14 | psychiatric mental health clinical nurse specialist or a | ||||||
15 | psychiatric mental health nurse practitioner.
| ||||||
16 | (405 ILCS 5/2-108) (from Ch. 91 1/2, par. 2-108)
| ||||||
17 | Sec. 2-108. Use of restraint. Restraint may be used only as | ||||||
18 | a therapeutic
measure to prevent a recipient from causing | ||||||
19 | physical harm to himself or
physical abuse to others. Restraint | ||||||
20 | may only be applied by a person who has
been trained in the | ||||||
21 | application of the particular type of restraint to be
utilized. | ||||||
22 | In no event shall restraint be utilized to punish or discipline |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | a
recipient, nor is restraint to be used as a convenience for | ||||||
2 | the staff.
| ||||||
3 | (a) Except as provided in this Section, restraint shall be | ||||||
4 | employed only
upon the written order of a physician, clinical | ||||||
5 | psychologist, clinical social
worker, clinical professional | ||||||
6 | counselor, advanced practice psychiatric nurse, or registered | ||||||
7 | nurse with supervisory responsibilities. No restraint
shall be | ||||||
8 | ordered unless the physician, clinical psychologist, clinical | ||||||
9 | social
worker, clinical professional counselor, advanced | ||||||
10 | practice psychiatric nurse, or registered nurse with | ||||||
11 | supervisory responsibilities, after personally
observing and | ||||||
12 | examining the recipient, is clinically satisfied that the use | ||||||
13 | of
restraint is justified to prevent the recipient from causing | ||||||
14 | physical harm to
himself or others. In no event may restraint | ||||||
15 | continue for longer than 2 hours
unless within that time period | ||||||
16 | a nurse with supervisory responsibilities , advanced practice | ||||||
17 | psychiatric nurse, or a
physician confirms, in writing, | ||||||
18 | following a personal examination of the
recipient, that the | ||||||
19 | restraint does not pose an undue risk to the recipient's
health | ||||||
20 | in light of the recipient's physical or medical condition. The | ||||||
21 | order
shall state the events leading up to the need for | ||||||
22 | restraint and the purposes
for which restraint is employed. The | ||||||
23 | order shall also state the length of time
restraint is to be | ||||||
24 | employed and the clinical justification for that length of
| ||||||
25 | time. No order for restraint shall be valid for more than 16 | ||||||
26 | hours. If
further restraint is required, a new order must be |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | issued pursuant to the
requirements provided in this Section.
| ||||||
2 | (b) In the event there is an emergency requiring the | ||||||
3 | immediate use
of restraint, it may be ordered temporarily by a | ||||||
4 | qualified person only
where a physician, clinical | ||||||
5 | psychologist, clinical social worker, clinical professional | ||||||
6 | counselor, advanced practice psychiatric nurse, or
registered | ||||||
7 | nurse with supervisory responsibilities is not immediately
| ||||||
8 | available. In that event, an order by a nurse, clinical | ||||||
9 | psychologist, clinical
social worker, clinical professional | ||||||
10 | counselor, advanced practice psychiatric nurse, or physician | ||||||
11 | shall be obtained pursuant to the requirements of
this Section | ||||||
12 | as quickly as possible, and the recipient shall be examined by | ||||||
13 | a
physician or supervisory nurse within 2 hours after the | ||||||
14 | initial employment of
the emergency restraint. Whoever orders | ||||||
15 | restraint in emergency situations shall
document its necessity | ||||||
16 | and place that documentation in the recipient's record.
| ||||||
17 | (c) The person who orders restraint shall inform the | ||||||
18 | facility director or
his designee in writing of the use of | ||||||
19 | restraint within 24 hours.
| ||||||
20 | (d) The facility director shall review all restraint orders | ||||||
21 | daily and shall
inquire into the reasons for the orders for | ||||||
22 | restraint by any person who
routinely orders them.
| ||||||
23 | (e) Restraint may be employed during all or part of one 24 | ||||||
24 | hour
period, the period commencing with the initial application | ||||||
25 | of the
restraint. However, once restraint has been employed | ||||||
26 | during one 24 hour
period, it shall not be used again on the |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | same recipient during the next
48 hours without the prior | ||||||
2 | written authorization of the facility director.
| ||||||
3 | (f) Restraint shall be employed in a humane and therapeutic | ||||||
4 | manner and
the person being restrained shall be observed by a | ||||||
5 | qualified person as often
as is clinically appropriate but in | ||||||
6 | no event less than once every 15 minutes.
The qualified person | ||||||
7 | shall maintain a record of the observations.
Specifically, | ||||||
8 | unless there is an immediate danger that the recipient
will | ||||||
9 | physically harm himself or others, restraint shall be loosely
| ||||||
10 | applied to permit freedom of movement. Further, the recipient | ||||||
11 | shall be
permitted to have regular meals and toilet privileges | ||||||
12 | free from the
restraint, except when freedom of action may | ||||||
13 | result in physical harm to
the recipient or others.
| ||||||
14 | (g) Every facility that employs restraint shall provide | ||||||
15 | training in the
safe and humane application of each type of | ||||||
16 | restraint employed.
The facility shall not authorize the use of | ||||||
17 | any type of restraint by an
employee who has not received | ||||||
18 | training in the safe and humane application
of that type of | ||||||
19 | restraint. Each facility in which restraint is used shall
| ||||||
20 | maintain records detailing which employees have been trained | ||||||
21 | and are
authorized to apply restraint, the date of the training | ||||||
22 | and the type of
restraint that the employee was trained to use.
| ||||||
23 | (h) Whenever restraint is imposed upon any recipient whose | ||||||
24 | primary mode
of communication is sign language, the recipient | ||||||
25 | shall be permitted to have
his hands free from restraint for | ||||||
26 | brief periods each hour, except
when freedom may result in |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | physical harm to the recipient or others.
| ||||||
2 | (i) A recipient who is restrained may only be secluded at | ||||||
3 | the same time
pursuant to an explicit written authorization as | ||||||
4 | provided in Section 2-109
of this Code. Whenever a recipient is | ||||||
5 | restrained, a member of the facility
staff shall remain with | ||||||
6 | the recipient at all times unless the recipient has
been | ||||||
7 | secluded. A recipient who is restrained and secluded shall be
| ||||||
8 | observed by a qualified person as often as is clinically | ||||||
9 | appropriate but in
no event less than every 15 minutes.
| ||||||
10 | (j) Whenever restraint is used, the recipient shall be | ||||||
11 | advised of his
right, pursuant to Sections 2-200 and 2-201 of | ||||||
12 | this Code, to have any
person of his choosing, including the | ||||||
13 | Guardianship and Advocacy Commission
or the agency designated | ||||||
14 | pursuant to the Protection and Advocacy for
Persons with | ||||||
15 | Developmental Disabilities Act notified of the restraint. A | ||||||
16 | recipient
who is under guardianship may request that any person | ||||||
17 | of his choosing be
notified of the restraint whether or not the | ||||||
18 | guardian approves of the notice.
Whenever the Guardianship and | ||||||
19 | Advocacy Commission is notified that a recipient
has been | ||||||
20 | restrained, it shall contact that recipient to determine the
| ||||||
21 | circumstances of the restraint and whether further action is | ||||||
22 | warranted.

| ||||||
25 | Sec. 2-109. Seclusion. Seclusion may be used only as a |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | therapeutic
measure to prevent a recipient from causing | ||||||
2 | physical harm to himself or
physical abuse
to others. In no | ||||||
3 | event shall seclusion be utilized to punish or discipline
a | ||||||
4 | recipient, nor is seclusion to be used as a convenience for the | ||||||
5 | staff.
| ||||||
6 | (a) Seclusion shall be employed only upon the written order | ||||||
7 | of a
physician, clinical psychologist, clinical social worker, | ||||||
8 | clinical professional counselor, advanced practice psychiatric | ||||||
9 | nurse, or registered
nurse with supervisory responsibilities. | ||||||
10 | No seclusion shall be ordered
unless the physician, clinical | ||||||
11 | psychologist, clinical social worker, clinical professional | ||||||
12 | counselor, advanced practice psychiatric nurse, or
registered | ||||||
13 | nurse with supervisory responsibilities, after personally
| ||||||
14 | observing and examining the recipient, is clinically satisfied | ||||||
15 | that the use
of seclusion is justified to prevent the recipient | ||||||
16 | from causing physical
harm to himself or others. In no event | ||||||
17 | may seclusion continue for longer
than 2 hours unless within | ||||||
18 | that time
period a nurse with supervisory responsibilities , | ||||||
19 | advanced practice psychiatric nurse, or a physician confirms in
| ||||||
20 | writing, following a personal examination of the recipient, | ||||||
21 | that the
seclusion does not pose an undue risk to the | ||||||
22 | recipient's health in light of
the recipient's physical or | ||||||
23 | medical condition. The order
shall state the events leading up | ||||||
24 | to the need for seclusion and the
purposes for which seclusion | ||||||
25 | is employed. The order shall also
state the length of time | ||||||
26 | seclusion is to be employed and the clinical
justification for |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | the length of time. No order for seclusion shall be
valid for | ||||||
2 | more than 16 hours. If further seclusion is required, a new
| ||||||
3 | order must be issued pursuant to the requirements
provided in | ||||||
4 | this Section.
| ||||||
5 | (b) The person who orders seclusion shall inform the | ||||||
6 | facility
director or his designee in writing of the use of | ||||||
7 | seclusion within 24
hours.
| ||||||
8 | (c) The facility director shall review all seclusion orders | ||||||
9 | daily and
shall inquire into the reasons for the orders for | ||||||
10 | seclusion by any
person who routinely orders them.
| ||||||
11 | (d) Seclusion may be employed during all or part of one 16 | ||||||
12 | hour
period, that period commencing with the initial | ||||||
13 | application of the
seclusion. However, once seclusion has been | ||||||
14 | employed during one 16 hour
period, it shall not be used again | ||||||
15 | on the same recipient during the next
48 hours without the | ||||||
16 | prior written authorization of the facility director.
| ||||||
17 | (e) The person who ordered the seclusion shall assign a | ||||||
18 | qualified
person to observe the recipient at all times.
A | ||||||
19 | recipient who is restrained and secluded shall be observed by a | ||||||
20 | qualified
person as often as is clinically appropriate but in | ||||||
21 | no event less than once
every 15 minutes.
| ||||||
22 | (f) Safety precautions shall be followed to prevent | ||||||
23 | injuries to the
recipient in the seclusion room. Seclusion | ||||||
24 | rooms shall be adequately
lighted, heated, and furnished. If a | ||||||
25 | door is locked, someone with a key
shall be in constant | ||||||
26 | attendance nearby.
|
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | (g) Whenever seclusion is used, the recipient shall be | ||||||
2 | advised of his
right, pursuant to Sections 2-200 and 2-201 of | ||||||
3 | this Code, to have any
person of his choosing, including the | ||||||
4 | Guardianship and Advocacy Commission
notified of the | ||||||
5 | seclusion. A person who is under guardianship may request
that | ||||||
6 | any person of his choosing be notified of the seclusion whether | ||||||
7 | or not
the guardian approves of the notice. Whenever the | ||||||
8 | Guardianship and
Advocacy Commission is notified that a | ||||||
9 | recipient has been secluded, it shall
contact that recipient to | ||||||
10 | determine the circumstances of the seclusion and
whether | ||||||
11 | further action is warranted.

The petition shall be accompanied by a | ||||||
15 | certificate executed
by a physician, qualified examiner, | ||||||
16 | psychiatrist, advanced practice psychiatric nurse, or clinical | ||||||
17 | psychologist which states
that the respondent is subject to | ||||||

hospitalization. The certificate shall indicate that | ||||||
20 | the physician, qualified
examiner, psychiatrist, advanced | ||||||
21 | practice psychiatric nurse, or clinical psychologist | ||||||
22 | personally examined the respondent not
more than 72 hours prior | ||||||
23 | to admission. It shall also contain the physician's,
qualified | ||||||
24 | examiner's, psychiatrist's, advanced practice psychiatric | ||||||
25 | nurse's, or clinical psychologist's clinical observations,
|
| |||||||
| |||||||

| ||||||
6 | Sec. 3-603.
(a) If no physician, qualified examiner, | ||||||
7 | psychiatrist, advanced practice psychiatric nurse, or clinical
| ||||||
8 | psychologist
is immediately available or it is not possible | ||||||
9 | after a diligent effort to
obtain the certificate provided for | ||||||
10 | in Section 3-602, the respondent may
be detained for | ||||||
11 | examination in a mental health facility upon presentation
of | ||||||
12 | the petition alone pending the obtaining of such a certificate.
| ||||||
13 | (b) In such instance the petition shall conform to the | ||||||
14 | requirements of
Section 3-601 and further specify that:
| ||||||
15 | 1. the petitioner believes, as a result of his personal | ||||||
16 | observation, that
the respondent is subject to involuntary | ||||||
17 | admission on an inpatient basis;
| ||||||
18 | 2. a diligent effort was made to obtain a certificate;
| ||||||
19 | 3. no physician, qualified examiner, psychiatrist, or | ||||||
20 | clinical psychologist could be
found who has examined or | ||||||
21 | could examine the respondent; and
| ||||||
22 | 4. a diligent effort has been made to convince the | ||||||
23 | respondent to appear
voluntarily for examination by a | ||||||
24 | physician, qualified examiner, psychiatrist, or clinical
| ||||||
25 | psychologist, unless the petitioner reasonably believes |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | that effort would
impose a risk of harm to the respondent | ||||||
2 | or others.

As soon as possible but not later than 24 | ||||||
6 | hours, excluding
Saturdays, Sundays and holidays, after | ||||||
7 | admission of a respondent pursuant
to this Article, the | ||||||
8 | respondent shall be examined by a psychiatrist. The
| ||||||
9 | psychiatrist may be a member of the staff of the facility but | ||||||
10 | shall not
be the person who executed the first certificate. If | ||||||
11 | a certificate has already been completed by a psychiatrist | ||||||
12 | following the respondent's admission, the respondent shall be | ||||||
13 | examined by another psychiatrist or by a physician, clinical | ||||||
14 | psychologist, advanced practice psychiatric nurse, or | ||||||
15 | qualified examiner. If, as a result of this second examination, | ||||||
16 | a certificate is executed, the certificate shall be promptly | ||||||
17 | filed with the court. If the certificate states that the | ||||||
18 | respondent is subject to involuntary admission but not in need | ||||||
19 | of immediate hospitalization, the respondent may remain in his | ||||||
20 | or her place of residence pending a hearing on the petition | ||||||
21 | unless he or she voluntarily agrees to inpatient treatment. If | ||||||
22 | the respondent is
not examined or if the psychiatrist, | ||||||
23 | physician, clinical psychologist, advanced practice | ||||||
24 | psychiatric nurse, or qualified examiner does not execute a | ||||||
25 | certificate pursuant
to Section 3-602, the respondent shall be |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | released forthwith.

| ||||||
10 | (b) Upon receipt of the petition either with or without a | ||||||
11 | certificate,
if the court finds the documents are in order, it | ||||||
12 | may make such orders pursuant
to Section 3-703 as are necessary | ||||||
