Short description: 
CIV PRO-MED MALPRACT-NAPRAPATH                                             

Synopsis of Bill as introduced:
        Amends  the  "Civil  Practice"  Article  of  the  Code  of  Civil      
   Procedure.  Provides that in a healing art malpractice action,  if  an      
   affidavit  of consultation with a health professional is filed as to a      
   defendant who is a naprapath,  the  written  report  determining  that      
   there  is  reasonable and meritorious cause for filing the action must      
   be from a licensed naprapath.   Makes  this  provision  applicable  to      
   pending actions.  Effective immediately.                                    
        HOUSE AMENDMENT NO. 1.                                                 
        Deletes provision stating that the provisions of this  amendatory      
   Act  apply  to any actions against a defendant who is a naprapath that      
   are pending at the time of the effective date.  Provides instead  that      
   the  provisions  of  this amendatory act do not apply to or affect any      
   actions pending at the time of its effective date, but apply to  cases      
   filed on or after its effective date.                                       
          FISCAL NOTE, H-AM 1 (Administrative Office of Ill. Courts)           
          No fiscal impact on the Judicial Branch.                             
          JUDICIAL NOTE, H-AM 1                                                
          There would be neither a decrease nor increase in the need for       
          the number of judges.                                                
          STATE MANDATES FISCAL NOTE, H-AM 1                                   
          HB568, with H-am 1, fails create a State mandate.                    
          FISCAL NOTE, H-AM 1 (DCCA)                                           
          HB 568 imposes no additional requirements and would not have a       
          fiscal impact on units of local gov't.
