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.
(740 ILCS 110/8) (from Ch. 91 1/2, par. 808)
Sec. 8.
In the course of an investigation, or in the course of
monitoring issues concerning the rights of recipients or the services provided
to recipients as authorized by subsection (l) of Section 5 of the
Guardianship and Advocacy Act, a regional human rights
authority of the Guardianship and Advocacy Commission created
by the Guardianship and Advocacy Act may inspect and copy any recipient's
records in the possession
of a therapist, agency, Department or facility which
provides services to a
recipient, including reports of suspected abuse or
neglect of a recipient and information regarding the disposition of such reports.
However, a regional authority
may not inspect or copy records containing personally identifiable data
which cannot be removed without imposing an unreasonable burden on the therapist,
agency, Department or facility which provides services, except
as provided herein. The regional
authority shall give written notice to the person entitled to give consent
for the identifiable recipient of services under Section 4 that it is conducting
an investigation or monitoring and indicating the nature and purpose of
the investigation or monitoring
and the need to inspect and copy the recipient's record.
If the person notified objects in writing to such inspection and copying,
the regional authority may not inspect or copy the record. The therapist,
agency, Department or facility which provides services may not
object on behalf of a recipient.
