Illinois Compiled Statutes (ILCS)
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.

(b) An advanced practice registered nurse certified as a nurse midwife may provide out-of-hospital birth services in all practice settings consistent with national certification under a written collaborative agreement meeting the requirements of Section 65-30 of this Act with an advanced practice registered nurse with full practice authority if the services are provided in a federal primary care health professional shortage area with a Health Professional Shortage Area score greater than or equal to 12, as determined by the United States Department of Health and Human Services, or a maternity care desert. (c) The Department may adopt rules to administer this Section, including, but not limited to, rules that require the completion of forms and the payment of fees.
