Information maintained by the Legislative
Reference Bureau
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.
405 ILCS 5/3-703
(405 ILCS 5/3-703) (from Ch. 91 1/2, par. 3-703)
Sec. 3-703.
If no certificate was filed, the respondent shall be examined
separately by a physician, or clinical psychologist, advanced practice psychiatric nurse, or qualified examiner
and by a psychiatrist. If a certificate executed by a psychiatrist was
filed, the respondent shall be examined by a physician, clinical psychologist,
qualified examiner, advanced practice psychiatric nurse, or psychiatrist. If a certificate executed by a qualified
examiner, clinical psychologist, advanced practice psychiatric nurse, or a physician who is not a psychiatrist
was filed, the respondent shall be examined by a psychiatrist. The
examining physician, clinical psychologist, qualified examiner, advanced practice psychiatric nurse, or
psychiatrist may interview by telephone or in person any witnesses or other
persons listed in the petition for involuntary admission. If, as a
result of an examination, a certificate is executed, the certificate shall
be promptly filed with the court. If a certificate is executed, the
examining physician, clinical psychologist, qualified examiner, advanced practice psychiatric nurse, or
psychiatrist may also submit for filing with the court a report in which
his findings are described in detail, and may rely upon such findings for
his opinion that the respondent is subject to involuntary admission on an inpatient basis.
Copies of the certificates shall be made available to the attorneys for the
parties upon request prior to the hearing. A certificate prepared in compliance with this Article shall state whether or not the respondent is in need of immediate hospitalization. However, if both the certificates state that the respondent is not in need of immediate hospitalization, the respondent may remain in his or her place of residence pending a hearing on the petition unless he or she voluntarily agrees to inpatient treatment.
