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.

Notwithstanding the provisions of Sections 4 and 5 of this Act,
 informed consent

and pre-test
						information are not required for the

for the purpose of research, if the testing is performed in such a way that
the identity of the test subject is not known and may not be retrieved by
the researcher, and in such a way that the test subject is not informed of
the results of the testing, or (b) when in the judgment of the physician,

treatment to the subject of the test, provided that the subject of the test
