to human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) and any other identified
causative agent of acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS) at
the time of or after the donation, but prior to the semen,
corneas, bones, organs, or other human tissue being made
available for such use. However, when in the opinion of the
attending physician the life of a recipient of a bone, organ or
other human tissue donation would be jeopardized by delays caused
by testing for evidence of exposure to HIV and any other
causative agent of AIDS, testing shall not be required.
(c) No person may intentionally, knowingly, recklessly or
negligently use the semen, corneas, bones, organs, or other human
tissue of a donor unless the requirements of subsection (b) have
been met. No person may intentionally, knowingly, recklessly or
negligently use the semen, corneas, bones, organs, or other human
tissue of a donor who has tested positive for exposure to HIV or
any other identified causative agent of AIDS. Violation of this
subsection (c) shall be a Class 4 felony.
(d) For the purposes of this Section, "human tissue" shall not
be construed to mean whole blood or its component parts. For the
purposes of this Section, "tissue bank" means any facility or
program that is involved in procuring, furnishing, donating,
processing or distributing corneas, bones,
organs, or other human tissue for the purpose of injecting,
transfusing or transplanting any of them in the human body.
2310/55.52. Prenatal transmission of HIV infection

55.55. The Department of Public Health shall prepare a brochure

diseases are transmitted and ways to avoid contacting the
diseases. With respect to inherited metabolic diseases, the
brochure shall include recommendations that persons who are
susceptible to contacting such diseases obtain genetic
counseling. The brochure shall be distributed to each county
clerk's office in the State and to any other office where
applications for a marriage license are taken, to be distributed
free of charge to persons applying for a marriage license or
others.

55.56. (a) The Department of Public Health shall include within

AIDS awareness programs and materials, information directed
toward Hispanics, African Americans and other population groups
in Illinois that are considered high risk populations for AIDS
and AIDS-related complex. Such information shall inform high risk
groups about the transmission of the AIDS virus, the prevention
of infection, the treatment available for the disease and how
treatment may be obtained.
(b) The Department of Public Health shall include in its AIDS
campaign material information directed toward African-Americans
and Hispanics. The Department shall seek the advice and
assistance of community-based organizations representing these
populations with respect to the most effective methods to educate
persons within these populations about AIDS.

(g) Any person providing or failing to provide notification under
the protocol required by this Section shall have immunity from
any liability, either criminal or civil, that might result by
reason of such action or inaction, unless such action or inaction
is willful.

required pursuant to an applicable protocol which has been

pursuant to this Section commits a petty offense, and shall be
subject to a fine of $200 for the first offense, and S500 for a
second or subsequent offense.

5-1. Declaration of purpose. It is the purpose of this Article
to provide a program of essential medical care and rehabilitative
services for persons receiving basic maintenance grants under
this Code and for other persons who are unable, because of
inadequate resources, to meet their essential medical needs.
Preservation of health, alleviation of sickness, and correction
of handicapping conditions for persons requiring maintenance
support are essential if they are to have an opportunity to
become self supporting or to attain a greater capacity for self-
care. For persons who are medically indigent but otherwise able
to provide themselves with a livelihood, it is of special
importance to maintain their incentives for continued
independence and preserve their limited resources for ordinary
maintenance needs to prevent their total or substantial
dependency.
5/5-1.1. Definitions
