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.

(410 ILCS 210/3) (from Ch. 111, par. 4503)
Sec. 3. (a) Where a hospital, a physician licensed to practice medicine in all its branches, a chiropractic physician, a licensed optometrist, a licensed advanced practice registered nurse, or a licensed physician assistant renders emergency treatment or first aid or a licensed dentist
renders emergency dental treatment to a minor, consent of the minor's parent
or legal guardian need not be obtained if, in the sole opinion of the
physician, chiropractic physician, optometrist,
advanced practice registered nurse, physician assistant,
dentist, or hospital, the obtaining of consent is not reasonably feasible
under the circumstances without adversely affecting the condition of such
minor's health.
(b) Where a minor is the victim of a predatory criminal sexual assault of
a child, aggravated criminal sexual assault, criminal sexual assault,
aggravated criminal sexual abuse or criminal sexual abuse, as provided in
Sections 11-1.20 through 11-1.60 of the Criminal Code of 2012, the consent
of the minor's parent or legal guardian need not be obtained to authorize
a hospital, physician, chiropractic physician, optometrist, advanced practice registered nurse, physician assistant, or other medical personnel to furnish health care services
or counseling related to the diagnosis or treatment of any disease or injury
arising from such offense. The minor may consent to such counseling, diagnosis
or treatment as if the minor had reached his or her age of majority. Such
consent shall not be voidable, nor subject to later disaffirmance, because
of minority.
