Synopsis of Bill as introduced:
        Amends the  Physicians  Lien  Act.   Provides  that  no  verdict,      
   judgment,  award, settlement, or compromise secured by or on behalf of      
   an injured person may be satisfied  unless  written  notice  has  been      
   given  to  the  physician  who  provided  care  to the injured person.      
   Provides that the physician shall have 30 days to perfect and  satisfy      
   his  or  her lien.  Replaces existing language regarding the attaching      
   of the lien with language providing that from the time the lien notice      
   is served, a physician's  lien  attaches  to  any  verdict,  judgment,      
   award,  settlement,  or  compromise  secured  by  or  on behalf of the      
   injured person.  Provides that the lien shall be satisfied before  the      
   establishment  of  any  annuity or other periodic plan for payments to      
   the injured person.
