7 (Source: P.A. 91-726, eff. 6-2-00; 91-837, eff. 6-16-00; 92-16,

9     (405 ILCS 5/3-607)  (from Ch. 91 1/2, par. 3-607)
10     Sec. 3-607. Court ordered temporary detention and
11 examination. When, as a result of personal observation and
12 testimony in open court, any court has reasonable grounds to
13 believe that a person appearing before it is subject to
14 involuntary admission and in need of immediate hospitalization
15 to protect such person or others from physical harm, the court
16 may enter an order for the temporary detention and examination
17 of such person. The order shall set forth in detail the facts
18 which are the basis for its conclusion. The court may order a
19 peace officer to take the person into custody and transport him
20 to a mental health facility. The person may be detained for
21 examination for no more than 24 hours to determine whether or
22 not she or he is subject to involuntary admission and in need
23 of immediate hospitalization. If a petition and certificate, as
24 provided in this Article, are executed within the 24 hours, the
25 person may be admitted provided that the certificate states

 

 

SB3129 Engrossed - 5 - LRB096 14618 KTG 29457 b

1 that the person is both subject to involuntary admission and in
2 need of immediate hospitalization. If the certificate states
3 that the person is subject to involuntary admission but not in
4 need of immediate hospitalization, the person may remain in his
5 or her place of residence pending a hearing on the petition
6 unless he or she voluntarily agrees to inpatient treatment. and
7 the The provisions of this Article shall apply to all petitions
8 and certificates executed pursuant to this Section. If no
9 petition or certificate is executed, the person shall be
10 released.

12     (405 ILCS 5/3-610)  (from Ch. 91 1/2, par. 3-610)
13     Sec. 3-610. As soon as possible but not later than 24
14 hours, excluding Saturdays, Sundays and holidays, after
15 admission of a respondent pursuant to this Article, the
16 respondent shall be examined by a psychiatrist. The
17 psychiatrist may be a member of the staff of the facility but
18 shall not be the person who executed the first certificate. If
19 a certificate has already been completed by a psychiatrist
20 following the respondent's admission, the respondent shall be
21 examined by another psychiatrist or by a physician, clinical
22 psychologist, or qualified examiner. If, as a result of this
23 second examination, a certificate is executed, the certificate
24 shall be promptly filed with the court. If the certificate
25 states that the respondent is subject to involuntary admission

 

 

SB3129 Engrossed - 6 - LRB096 14618 KTG 29457 b

1 but not in need of immediate hospitalization, the respondent
2 may remain in his or her place of residence pending a hearing
3 on the petition unless he or she voluntarily agrees to
4 inpatient treatment. If the respondent is not examined or if
5 the psychiatrist, physician, clinical psychologist, or
6 qualified examiner does not execute a certificate pursuant to
7 Section 3-602, the respondent shall be released forthwith.

9     (405 ILCS 5/3-702)  (from Ch. 91 1/2, par. 3-702)
10     Sec. 3-702. (a) The petition may be accompanied by the
11 certificate of a physician, qualified examiner, psychiatrist,
12 or clinical psychologist which certifies that the respondent is
13 subject to involuntary admission and which contains the other
14 information specified in Section 3-602.
15     (b) Upon receipt of the petition either with or without a
16 certificate, if the court finds the documents are in order, it
17 may make such orders pursuant to Section 3-703 as are necessary
18 to provide for examination of the respondent. If the petition
19 is not accompanied by 2 certificates executed pursuant to
20 Section 3-703, the court may order the respondent to present
21 himself for examination at a time and place designated by the
22 court. If the petition is accompanied by 2 certificates
23 executed pursuant to Section 3-703 and the court finds the
24 documents are in order, it shall set the matter for hearing.

1     (405 ILCS 5/3-703)  (from Ch. 91 1/2, par. 3-703)
2     Sec. 3-703. If no certificate was filed, the respondent
3 shall be examined separately by a physician, or clinical
4 psychologist, or qualified examiner and by a psychiatrist. If a
5 certificate executed by a psychiatrist was filed, the
6 respondent shall be examined by a physician, clinical
7 psychologist, qualified examiner, or psychiatrist. If a
8 certificate executed by a qualified examiner, clinical
9 psychologist, or a physician who is not a psychiatrist was
10 filed, the respondent shall be examined by a psychiatrist. The
11 examining physician, clinical psychologist, qualified examiner
12 or psychiatrist may interview by telephone or in person any
13 witnesses or other persons listed in the petition for
14 involuntary admission. If, as a result of an examination, a
15 certificate is executed, the certificate shall be promptly
16 filed with the court. If a certificate is executed, the
17 examining physician, clinical psychologist, qualified examiner
18 or psychiatrist may also submit for filing with the court a
19 report in which his findings are described in detail, and may
20 rely upon such findings for his opinion that the respondent is
21 subject to involuntary admission. Copies of the certificates
22 shall be made available to the attorneys for the parties upon
23 request prior to the hearing. A certificate prepared in
24 compliance with this Article shall state whether or not the
25 respondent is in need of immediate hospitalization. However, if

 

 

SB3129 Engrossed - 8 - LRB096 14618 KTG 29457 b

1 both the certificates state that the respondent is not in need
2 of immediate hospitalization, the respondent may remain in his
3 or her place of residence pending a hearing on the petition
4 unless he or she voluntarily agrees to inpatient treatment.

6     Section 10. The Mental Health and Developmental
7 Disabilities Confidentiality Act is amended by changing
8 Sections 4, 9.2, and 10 as follows:
 
9     (740 ILCS 110/4)  (from Ch. 91 1/2, par. 804)
10     Sec. 4. (a) The following persons shall be entitled, upon
11 request, to inspect and copy a recipient's record or any part
12 thereof:
13         (1) the parent or guardian of a recipient who is under
14     12 years of age;
15         (2) the recipient if he is 12 years of age or older;
16         (3) the parent or guardian of a recipient who is at
17     least 12 but under 18 years, if the recipient is informed
18     and does not object or if the therapist does not find that
19     there are compelling reasons for denying the access. The
20     parent or guardian who is denied access by either the
21     recipient or the therapist may petition a court for access
22     to the record. Nothing in this paragraph is intended to
23     prohibit the parent or guardian of a recipient who is at
24     least 12 but under 18 years from requesting and receiving

 

 

SB3129 Engrossed - 9 - LRB096 14618 KTG 29457 b

2     condition, diagnosis, treatment needs, services provided,
3     and services needed, including medication, if any;
4         (4) the guardian of a recipient who is 18 years or
5     older;
6         (5) an attorney or guardian ad litem who represents a
7     minor 12 years of age or older in any judicial or
8     administrative proceeding, provided that the court or
9     administrative hearing officer has entered an order
10     granting the attorney this right; or
11         (6) an agent appointed under a recipient's power of
12     attorney for health care or for property, when the power of
13     attorney authorizes the access; .
14         (7) an attorney-in-fact appointed under the Mental
15     Health Treatment Preference Declaration Act; or
16         (8) any person in whose care and custody the recipient
17     has been placed pursuant to Section 3-811 of the Mental
18     Health and Developmental Disabilities Code.
19     (b) Assistance in interpreting the record may be provided
20 without charge and shall be provided if the person inspecting
21 the record is under 18 years of age. However, access may in no
22 way be denied or limited if the person inspecting the record
23 refuses the assistance. A reasonable fee may be charged for
24 duplication of a record. However, when requested to do so in
25 writing by any indigent recipient, the custodian of the records
26 shall provide at no charge to the recipient, or to the

16 request modification of any part of the record which he
17 believes is incorrect or misleading. If the request is refused,
18 the person may seek a court order to compel modification.
19     (d) Whenever access or modification is requested, the
20 request and any action taken thereon shall be noted in the
21 recipient's record.

7 Department of Corrections, mental health facilities operated

14 the identified recipient to another setting. No records or
15 communications may be disclosed to a county jail or State

20 adopt written policies and procedures designed to ensure that
21 the records and communications are disclosed only to those
22 persons employed by or under contract to the county jail or

2     (740 ILCS 110/10)  (from Ch. 91 1/2, par. 810)
3     Sec. 10. (a) Except as provided herein, in any civil,
4 criminal, administrative, or legislative proceeding, or in any
5 proceeding preliminary thereto, a recipient, and a therapist on
6 behalf and in the interest of a recipient, has the privilege to
7 refuse to disclose and to prevent the disclosure of the
8 recipient's record or communications.
9         (1) Records and communications may be disclosed in a
10     civil, criminal or administrative proceeding in which the
11     recipient introduces his mental condition or any aspect of
12     his services received for such condition as an element of
13     his claim or defense, if and only to the extent the court
14     in which the proceedings have been brought, or, in the case
15     of an administrative proceeding, the court to which an
16     appeal or other action for review of an administrative
17     determination may be taken, finds, after in camera
18     examination of testimony or other evidence, that it is
19     relevant, probative, not unduly prejudicial or
20     inflammatory, and otherwise clearly admissible; that other
21     satisfactory evidence is demonstrably unsatisfactory as
22     evidence of the facts sought to be established by such
23     evidence; and that disclosure is more important to the
24     interests of substantial justice than protection from
25     injury to the therapist-recipient relationship or to the

 

 

SB3129 Engrossed - 13 - LRB096 14618 KTG 29457 b

1     recipient or other whom disclosure is likely to harm.
2     Except in a criminal proceeding in which the recipient, who
3     is accused in that proceeding, raises the defense of
4     insanity, no record or communication between a therapist
5     and a recipient shall be deemed relevant for purposes of
6     this subsection, except the fact of treatment, the cost of
7     services and the ultimate diagnosis unless the party
8     seeking disclosure of the communication clearly
9     establishes in the trial court a compelling need for its
10     production. However, for purposes of this Act, in any
11     action brought or defended under the Illinois Marriage and
12     Dissolution of Marriage Act, or in any action in which pain
13     and suffering is an element of the claim, mental condition
14     shall not be deemed to be introduced merely by making such
15     claim and shall be deemed to be introduced only if the
16     recipient or a witness on his behalf first testifies
17     concerning the record or communication.
18         (2) Records or communications may be disclosed in a
19     civil proceeding after the recipient's death when the
20     recipient's physical or mental condition has been
21     introduced as an element of a claim or defense by any party
22     claiming or defending through or as a beneficiary of the
23     recipient, provided the court finds, after in camera
24     examination of the evidence, that it is relevant,
25     probative, and otherwise clearly admissible; that other
26     satisfactory evidence is not available regarding the facts

1     sought to be established by such evidence; and that
2     disclosure is more important to the interests of
3     substantial justice than protection from any injury which
4     disclosure is likely to cause.
5         (3) In the event of a claim made or an action filed by
6     a recipient, or, following the recipient's death, by any
7     party claiming as a beneficiary of the recipient for injury
8     caused in the course of providing services to such
9     recipient, the therapist and other persons whose actions
10     are alleged to have been the cause of injury may disclose
11     pertinent records and communications to an attorney or
12     attorneys engaged to render advice about and to provide
13     representation in connection with such matter and to
14     persons working under the supervision of such attorney or
15     attorneys, and may testify as to such records or
16     communication in any administrative, judicial or discovery
17     proceeding for the purpose of preparing and presenting a
18     defense against such claim or action.
19         (4) Records and communications made to or by a
20     therapist in the course of examination ordered by a court
21     for good cause shown may, if otherwise relevant and
22     admissible, be disclosed in a civil, criminal, or
23     administrative proceeding in which the recipient is a party
24     or in appropriate pretrial proceedings, provided such
25     court has found that the recipient has been as adequately
26     and as effectively as possible informed before submitting

1     to such examination that such records and communications
2     would not be considered confidential or privileged. Such
3     records and communications shall be admissible only as to
4     issues involving the recipient's physical or mental
5     condition and only to the extent that these are germane to
6     such proceedings.
7         (5) Records and communications may be disclosed in a
8     proceeding under the Probate Act of 1975, to determine a
9     recipient's competency or need for guardianship, provided
10     that the disclosure is made only with respect to that
11     issue.
12         (6) Records and communications may be disclosed when
13     such are made during treatment which the recipient is
14     ordered to undergo to render him fit to stand trial on a
15     criminal charge, provided that the disclosure is made only
16     with respect to the issue of fitness to stand trial.

19     involving the validity of or benefits under a life,
20     accident, health or disability insurance policy or
21     certificate, or Health Care Service Plan Contract,
22     insuring the recipient, but only if and to the extent that
23     the recipient's mental condition, or treatment or services
24     in connection therewith, is a material element of any claim
25     or defense of any party, provided that information sought
26     or disclosed shall not be redisclosed except in connection

2         (8) Records or communications may be disclosed when
3     such are relevant to a matter in issue in any action
4     brought under this Act and proceedings preliminary
5     thereto, provided that any information so disclosed shall
6     not be utilized for any other purpose nor be redisclosed
7     except in connection with such action or preliminary
8     proceedings.
9         (9) Records and communications of the recipient may be
10     disclosed in investigations of and trials for homicide when
11     the disclosure relates directly to the fact or immediate
12     circumstances of the homicide.
13         (10) Records and communications of a deceased
14     recipient may be disclosed to a coroner conducting a
15     preliminary investigation into the recipient's death under
16     Section 3-3013 of the Counties Code. However, records and
17     communications of the deceased recipient disclosed in an
18     investigation shall be limited solely to the deceased
19     recipient's records and communications relating to the
20     factual circumstances of the incident being investigated
21     in a mental health facility.
22         (11) Records and communications of a recipient shall be
23     disclosed in a proceeding where a petition or motion is
24     filed under the Juvenile Court Act of 1987 and the
25     recipient is named as a parent, guardian, or legal
26     custodian of a minor who is the subject of a petition for

 

 

SB3129 Engrossed - 17 - LRB096 14618 KTG 29457 b

1     wardship as described in Section 2-3 of that Act or a minor
2     who is the subject of a petition for wardship as described
3     in Section 2-4 of that Act alleging the minor is abused,
4     neglected, or dependent or the recipient is named as a
5     parent of a child who is the subject of a petition,
6     supplemental petition, or motion to appoint a guardian with
7     the power to consent to adoption under Section 2-29 of the
8     Juvenile Court Act of 1987.
9         (12) Records and communications of a recipient may be
10     disclosed when disclosure is necessary to collect sums or
11     receive third party payment representing charges for
12     mental health or developmental disabilities services
13     provided by a therapist or agency to a recipient; however,
14     disclosure shall be limited to information needed to pursue
15     collection, and the information so disclosed may not be
16     used for any other purposes nor may it be redisclosed
17     except in connection with collection activities. Whenever
18     records are disclosed pursuant to this subdivision (12),
19     the recipient of the records shall be advised in writing
20     that any person who discloses mental health records and
21     communications in violation of this Act may be subject to
22     civil liability pursuant to Section 15 of this Act or to
23     criminal penalties pursuant to Section 16 of this Act or
24     both.
25     (b) Before a disclosure is made under subsection (a), any
26 party to the proceeding or any other interested person may

 

 

SB3129 Engrossed - 18 - LRB096 14618 KTG 29457 b

1 request an in camera review of the record or communications to
2 be disclosed. The court or agency conducting the proceeding may
3 hold an in camera review on its own motion. When, contrary to
4 the express wish of the recipient, the therapist asserts a
5 privilege on behalf and in the interest of a recipient, the
6 court may require that the therapist, in an in camera hearing,
7 establish that disclosure is not in the best interest of the
