Illinois General Assembly - Illinois Compiled Statutes

Updating the database of the Illinois Compiled Statutes (ILCS) is an ongoing process. Recent laws may not yet be included in the ILCS database, but they are found on this site as Public Acts soon after they become law. For information concerning the relationship between statutes and Public Acts, refer to the Guide.

Because the statute database is maintained primarily for legislative drafting purposes, statutory changes are sometimes included in the statute database before they take effect. If the source note at the end of a Section of the statutes includes a Public Act that has not yet taken effect, the version of the law that is currently in effect may have already been removed from the database and you should refer to that Public Act to see the changes made to the current law.

105 ILCS 150/10

(105 ILCS 150/10)

Sec. 10. Definitions. In this Act:

"Delegated care aide" means a school employee or paraprofessional who has agreed to receive training in epilepsy and assist a student in implementing his or her seizure action plan and who has entered into an agreement with a parent or guardian of that student.

"School" means any primary or secondary public, charter, or nonpublic school located in this State.

"School employee" means a person who is employed by a school district or school as a nurse, principal, administrator, school counselor, or teacher, a person who is employed by a local health department and assigned to a school, or a person who contracts with a school or school district to perform services in connection with a student's seizure action plan.  This definition may not be interpreted to require a school district, charter school, or nonpublic school to hire additional personnel for the sole purpose of the personnel to serve as a delegated care aide.

"Seizure action plan" means a document that specifies the services needed by a student with epilepsy at school and at school-sponsored activities and delegates to a delegated care aide the authority to provide and supervise these services.
