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.

210 ILCS 45/2-111

(210 ILCS 45/2-111) (from Ch. 111 1/2, par. 4152-111)

Sec. 2-111.

A resident may be discharged from a facility after he gives
the administrator, a physician, or a nurse of the facility
written notice of his desire to be discharged.  If a guardian has been appointed
for a resident or if the resident is a minor, the resident shall be discharged
upon written consent of his guardian or if the resident is a minor, his
parent unless there is a court order to the contrary.  In such cases, upon
the resident's
discharge, the facility is relieved from any responsibility for the resident's
care, safety or well-being.
