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.

(410 ILCS 335/20)

Sec. 20. 24-hour Perinatal HIV Hotline.

(a)  The Department of Public Health or its authorized representative shall establish and maintain a 24-hour Perinatal HIV Hotline.  The purpose of the hotline is to provide linkage to case management  and ensure consultation to help prevent the following:

        (1) transmission of HIV during labor and delivery; and
        (2) HIV infection of the newborn infant.

(b)  The hotline must provide to health care professionals perinatal HIV treatment information in accordance with guidelines established by the U.S. Public Health Service or other nationally-recognized experts, as determined by the Department.  An electronic reporting system may replace the telephone hotline if the Department determines the same services can be provided more effectively.
