| out in
Section 4A of this Act. If the applicant so requests, | 2 |
| the card shall
include a description of the applicant's | 3 |
| disability and any information
about the applicant's | 4 |
| disability or medical history which the Secretary
determines | 5 |
| would be helpful to the applicant in securing emergency medical
| 6 |
| care. The applicant, upon receipt of such a card and prior to | 7 |
| its use for
any purpose, shall have affixed thereon in the | 8 |
| space provided therefor his
signature or mark. If a mark is | 9 |
| used in lieu of a signature, such mark
shall be affixed to the | 10 |
| card in the presence of two witnesses who attest to
the | 11 |
| authenticity of the mark. The Illinois
Disabled Person | 12 |
| Identification Card may be used for identification purposes
in | 13 |
| any lawful situation by the person to whom it was issued.
| 14 |
| The Illinois Disabled Person Identification Card may be | 15 |
| used as adequate
documentation of disability in lieu of a | 16 |
| physician's determination of
disability, a determination of | 17 |
| disability from a physician assistant who has
been delegated | 18 |
| the authority to make this determination by his or her
| 19 |
| supervising physician, a determination of disability from an | 20 |

nurse who has a written collaborative | 21 |
| agreement with a collaborating physician
that
authorizes the | 22 |
| advanced practice nurse to make this determination, or any
| 23 |
| other documentation
of disability whenever
any
State law
| 24 |
| requires that a disabled person provide such documentation of | 25 |
| disability,
