The bill amends the Illinois Living Will Act to clarify the conditions under which a living will becomes operative and establishes the precedence of agents authorized by a health care agency.

  • 755 ILCS 35/3.5

    Sec. 3.5. Applicability. Section 4-11 of the Illinois Power of Attorney Act governs the applicability of this Act if a patient has a health care agency. Notwithstanding Section 9.5 or any other provision in this Act, a declaration is not operative as long as an agent is available who is authorized by a health care agency to make decisions concerning life-sustaining or death delaying procedures for the patient, and nothing in this Act may impair or supersede the authority of an agent under a health care agency to make decisions regarding life-sustaining or death delaying treatment.

    Establishes that the authority of an agent from a health care agency takes precedence over a living will.

  • 755 ILCS 35/9.5

    Sec. 9.5. Operation of living will. Subject to Section 3.5 and Section 9(l), a declaration under this Act becomes operative when all of the following conditions have been met: (1) it has been validly executed; (2) it has not been revoked in accordance with Section 5; (3) the patient is unable to give directions regarding the use of life-sustaining or death delaying procedures; and (4) the patient is a qualified patient. An operative and unrevoked living will declaration continues in effect until revoked in accordance with this Act.

    Defines the conditions for when a living will becomes operative.
