LRB102 13813 SPS 19163 b
FISCAL NOTE ACT MAY APPLY
A BILL FOR
SB1951 LRB102 13813 SPS 19163 b
AN ACT concerning regulation.
Be it enacted by the People of the State of Illinois,
represented in the General Assembly:
Section 1. Findings. The General Assembly finds that:
(1) naturopathic medicine is not currently regulated
in Illinois, and needs to be on the principles of freedom
of choice in healthcare and consumer protection;
(2) naturopathic physicians are trained alongside and
at the same standard as chiropractic physicians in
Illinois;
(3) naturopathic medicine has a federally recognized
accreditation agency, the Council on Naturopathic Medical
Education, which makes identification of properly
credentialed individuals simple and straightforward;
(4) naturopathic medicine has a common licensing
examination used across North America, the Naturopathic
Physicians Licensing Examinations (NPLEX); and
(5) citizens of Illinois are obtaining the credentials
for naturopathic physicians but do not currently have a
legislative framework that allows them to practice in the
State.
Section 5. The Geriatric Medicine Assistance Act is
amended by changing Section 2 as follows:

SB1951 - 2 - LRB102 13813 SPS 19163 b
(20 ILCS 3945/2) (from Ch. 144, par. 2002)
Sec. 2. There is created the Geriatric Medicine Assistance
Commission. The Commission shall receive and approve
applications for grants from schools, recognized by the
Department of Professional Regulation as being authorized to
confer doctor of medicine, doctor of osteopathy, doctor of
chiropractic, doctor of naturopathic medicine, or registered
professional nursing degrees in the State, to help finance the
establishment of geriatric medicine programs within such
schools. In determining eligibility for grants, the Commission
shall give preference to those programs which exhibit the
greatest potential for directly benefiting the largest number
of elderly citizens in the State. The Commission may not
approve the application of any institution which is unable to
demonstrate its current financial stability and reasonable
prospects for future stability. No institution which fails to
possess and maintain an open policy with respect to race,
creed, color and sex as to admission of students, appointment
of faculty and employment of staff shall be eligible for
grants under this Act. The Commission shall establish such
rules and standards as it deems necessary for the
implementation of this Act.
The Commission shall be composed of 8 members selected as
follows: 2 physicians licensed to practice under the Medical
Practice Act of 1987 and specializing in geriatric medicine; a

SB1951 - 3 - LRB102 13813 SPS 19163 b
registered professional nurse licensed under the Nurse
Practice Act and specializing in geriatric health care; 2
representatives of organizations interested in geriatric
medicine or the care of the elderly; and 3 individuals 60 or
older who are interested in geriatric health care or the care
of the elderly. The members of the Commission shall be
selected by the Governor from a list of recommendations
submitted to him by organizations concerned with geriatric
medicine or the care of the elderly.
The terms of the members of the Commission shall be 4
years, except that of the members initially appointed, 2 shall
be designated to serve until January 1, 1986, 3 until January
1, 1988, and 2 until January 1, 1990. Members of the Commission
shall receive no compensation, but shall be reimbursed for
actual expenses incurred in carrying out their duties.

Section 10. The School Code is amended by changing
Sections 24-6 and 26-1 as follows:
(105 ILCS 5/24-6)
Sec. 24-6. Sick leave. The school boards of all school
districts, including special charter districts, but not
including school districts in municipalities of 500,000 or
more, shall grant their full-time teachers, and also shall
grant such of their other employees as are eligible to

SB1951 - 4 - LRB102 13813 SPS 19163 b
participate in the Illinois Municipal Retirement Fund under
the "600-Hour Standard" established, or under such other
eligibility participation standard as may from time to time be
established, by rules and regulations now or hereafter
promulgated by the Board of that Fund under Section 7-198 of
the Illinois Pension Code, as now or hereafter amended, sick
leave provisions not less in amount than 10 days at full pay in
each school year. If any such teacher or employee does not use
the full amount of annual leave thus allowed, the unused
amount shall be allowed to accumulate to a minimum available
leave of 180 days at full pay, including the leave of the
current year. Sick leave shall be interpreted to mean personal
illness, quarantine at home, serious illness or death in the
immediate family or household, or birth, adoption, or
placement for adoption. The school board may require a
certificate from a physician licensed in Illinois to practice
medicine and surgery in all its branches, a chiropractic
physician or naturopathic physician licensed under the Medical
Practice Act of 1987, a licensed advanced practice registered
nurse, a licensed physician assistant, or, if the treatment is
by prayer or spiritual means, a spiritual adviser or
practitioner of the teacher's or employee's faith as a basis
for pay during leave after an absence of 3 days for personal
illness or 30 days for birth or as the school board may deem
necessary in other cases. If the school board does require a
certificate as a basis for pay during leave of less than 3 days

SB1951 - 5 - LRB102 13813 SPS 19163 b
for personal illness, the school board shall pay, from school
funds, the expenses incurred by the teachers or other
employees in obtaining the certificate. For paid leave for
adoption or placement for adoption, the school board may
require that the teacher or other employee provide evidence
that the formal adoption process is underway, and such leave
is limited to 30 days unless a longer leave has been negotiated
with the exclusive bargaining representative.
If, by reason of any change in the boundaries of school
districts, or by reason of the creation of a new school
district, the employment of a teacher is transferred to a new
or different board, the accumulated sick leave of such teacher
is not thereby lost, but is transferred to such new or
different district.
For purposes of this Section, "immediate family" shall
include parents, spouse, brothers, sisters, children,
grandparents, grandchildren, parents-in-law, brothers-in-law,
sisters-in-law, and legal guardians.

SB1951 - 8 - LRB102 13813 SPS 19163 b
not limited to, a list of religious holidays on which it

funeral. The school's administration may waive this 2-day
notification requirement if the student did not receive at
least 2 days advance notice, but the student shall notify
the school's administration as soon as possible of the
absence. A student whose absence is excused under this
paragraph 7 shall be counted as if the student attended
school for purposes of calculating the average daily
attendance of students in the school district. A student
whose absence is excused under this paragraph 7 must be
allowed a reasonable time to make up school work missed
during the absence. If the student satisfactorily
completes the school work, the day of absence shall be
counted as a day of compulsory attendance and he or she may
not be penalized for that absence; and

In the exercise of its discretion under this Section, the

bring unique experience and skills to the State of Illinois or
the extent to which there is or is not available to the
Department authentic and definitive information concerning the
quality of medical education and clinical training which the
applicant has had. Under no circumstances shall a license be

SB1951 - 50 - LRB102 13813 SPS 19163 b

or her their practice.
The Department may refuse to issue or take disciplinary
action concerning the license of any person who fails to file a

filed return, or to pay any final assessment of tax, penalty,
or interest, as required by any tax Act administered by the
Illinois Department of Revenue, until such time as the

(b) what constitutes dishonorable, unethical, or
unprofessional conduct of a character likely to deceive,

(c) what constitutes immoral conduct in the commission
of any act, including, but not limited to, commission of
an act of sexual misconduct related to the licensee's
practice; and
(d) what constitutes gross negligence in the practice
of medicine.
However, no such rule shall be admissible into evidence in
any civil action except for review of a licensing or other
disciplinary action under this Act.

SB1951 - 61 - LRB102 13813 SPS 19163 b
In enforcing this Section, the Disciplinary Board or the
Licensing Board, upon a showing of a possible violation, may
compel, in the case of the Disciplinary Board, any individual
who is licensed to practice under this Act or holds a permit to
practice under this Act, or, in the case of the Licensing
Board, any individual who has applied for licensure or a
permit pursuant to this Act, to submit to a mental or physical
examination and evaluation, or both, which may include a
substance abuse or sexual offender evaluation, as required by
the Licensing Board or Disciplinary Board and at the expense
of the Department. The Disciplinary Board or Licensing Board
shall specifically designate the examining physician licensed
to practice medicine in all of its branches or, if applicable,
the multidisciplinary team involved in providing the mental or
physical examination and evaluation, or both. The
multidisciplinary team shall be led by a physician licensed to
practice medicine in all of its branches and may consist of one
or more or a combination of physicians licensed to practice
medicine in all of its branches, licensed chiropractic
physicians, licensed naturopathic physicians, licensed
clinical psychologists, licensed clinical social workers,
licensed clinical professional counselors, and other
professional and administrative staff. Any examining physician
or member of the multidisciplinary team may require any person
ordered to submit to an examination and evaluation pursuant to
this Section to submit to any additional supplemental testing

SB1951 - 62 - LRB102 13813 SPS 19163 b
deemed necessary to complete any examination or evaluation
process, including, but not limited to, blood testing,
urinalysis, psychological testing, or neuropsychological
testing. The Disciplinary Board, the Licensing Board, or the
Department may order the examining physician or any member of
the multidisciplinary team to provide to the Department, the
Disciplinary Board, or the Licensing Board any and all
records, including business records, that relate to the
examination and evaluation, including any supplemental testing
performed. The Disciplinary Board, the Licensing Board, or the
Department may order the examining physician or any member of
the multidisciplinary team to present testimony concerning
this examination and evaluation of the licensee, permit
holder, or applicant, including testimony concerning any
supplemental testing or documents relating to the examination
and evaluation. No information, report, record, or other
documents in any way related to the examination and evaluation
shall be excluded by reason of any common law or statutory
privilege relating to communication between the licensee,
permit holder, or applicant and the examining physician or any
member of the multidisciplinary team. No authorization is
necessary from the licensee, permit holder, or applicant
ordered to undergo an evaluation and examination for the
examining physician or any member of the multidisciplinary
team to provide information, reports, records, or other
documents or to provide any testimony regarding the

SB1951 - 63 - LRB102 13813 SPS 19163 b
examination and evaluation. The individual to be examined may
have, at his or her own expense, another physician of his or
her choice present during all aspects of the examination.
Failure of any individual to submit to mental or physical
examination and evaluation, or both, when directed, shall
result in an automatic suspension, without hearing, until such
time as the individual submits to the examination. If the
Disciplinary Board or Licensing Board finds a physician unable
to practice following an examination and evaluation because of
the reasons set forth in this Section, the Disciplinary Board
or Licensing Board shall require such physician to submit to
care, counseling, or treatment by physicians, or other health
care professionals, approved or designated by the Disciplinary
Board, as a condition for issued, continued, reinstated, or
renewed licensure to practice. Any physician, whose license
was granted pursuant to Sections 9, 17, or 19 of this Act, or,
continued, reinstated, renewed, disciplined or supervised,
subject to such terms, conditions, or restrictions who shall
fail to comply with such terms, conditions, or restrictions,
or to complete a required program of care, counseling, or
treatment, as determined by the Chief Medical Coordinator or
Deputy Medical Coordinators, shall be referred to the
Secretary for a determination as to whether the licensee shall
have his or her their license suspended immediately, pending a
hearing by the Disciplinary Board. In instances in which the
Secretary immediately suspends a license under this Section, a

SB1951 - 64 - LRB102 13813 SPS 19163 b
hearing upon such person's license must be convened by the
Disciplinary Board within 15 days after such suspension and
completed without appreciable delay. The Disciplinary Board
shall have the authority to review the subject physician's
record of treatment and counseling regarding the impairment,
to the extent permitted by applicable federal statutes and
regulations safeguarding the confidentiality of medical
records.
An individual licensed under this Act, affected under this
Section, shall be afforded an opportunity to demonstrate to
the Disciplinary Board that he or she they can resume practice
in compliance with acceptable and prevailing standards under
the provisions of his or her their license.
The Department may promulgate rules for the imposition of
fines in disciplinary cases, not to exceed $10,000 for each
violation of this Act. Fines may be imposed in conjunction
with other forms of disciplinary action, but shall not be the
exclusive disposition of any disciplinary action arising out
of conduct resulting in death or injury to a patient. Any funds
collected from such fines shall be deposited in the Illinois
State Medical Disciplinary Fund.
All fines imposed under this Section shall be paid within
60 days after the effective date of the order imposing the fine
or in accordance with the terms set forth in the order imposing
the fine.
(B) The Department shall revoke the license or permit

SB1951 - 65 - LRB102 13813 SPS 19163 b

physician, or a chiropractic physician who has been convicted
a second time of committing any felony under the Illinois
Controlled Substances Act or the Methamphetamine Control and
Community Protection Act, or who has been convicted a second
time of committing a Class 1 felony under Sections 8A-3 and
8A-6 of the Illinois Public Aid Code. A person whose license or
permit is revoked under this subsection B shall be prohibited
from practicing medicine or treating human ailments without
the use of drugs and without operative surgery.
(C) The Department shall not revoke, suspend, place on
probation, reprimand, refuse to issue or renew, or take any
other disciplinary or non-disciplinary action against the
license or permit issued under this Act to practice medicine
to a physician:
(1) based solely upon the recommendation of the
physician to an eligible patient regarding, or
prescription for, or treatment with, an investigational
drug, biological product, or device; or
(2) for experimental treatment for Lyme disease or
other tick-borne diseases, including, but not limited to,
the prescription of or treatment with long-term
antibiotics.
(D) The Disciplinary Board shall recommend to the
Department civil penalties and any other appropriate
discipline in disciplinary cases when the Board finds that a

SB1951 - 66 - LRB102 13813 SPS 19163 b
physician willfully performed an abortion with actual
knowledge that the person upon whom the abortion has been
performed is a minor or an incompetent person without notice
as required under the Parental Notice of Abortion Act of 1995.
Upon the Board's recommendation, the Department shall impose,
for the first violation, a civil penalty of $1,000 and for a
second or subsequent violation, a civil penalty of $5,000.

report, record, or other documents in any way related to the
examination and evaluation shall be excluded by reason of any

information, reports, records, or other documents or to
provide any testimony regarding the examination and
evaluation. The individual to be examined may have, at his or
her own expense, another physician of his or her choice
present during all aspects of this examination. Failure of an
individual to submit to a mental or physical examination and
evaluation, or both, when directed, shall result in an
automatic suspension without hearing, until such time as the
individual submits to the examination.

judgment, skill, or safety, may be required by the Department
to submit to care, counseling, or treatment by physicians
approved or designated by the Department as a condition, term,
or restriction for continued, reinstated, or renewed licensure
to practice. Submission to care, counseling, or treatment as
required by the Department shall not be considered discipline
of a license. If the licensee refuses to enter into a care,
counseling, or treatment agreement or fails to abide by the
terms of the agreement, the Department may file a complaint to
revoke, suspend, or otherwise discipline the license of the
individual. The Secretary may order the license suspended
immediately, pending a hearing by the Department. Fines shall
not be assessed in disciplinary actions involving physical or
mental illness or impairment.
In instances in which the Secretary immediately suspends a
person's license under this Section, a hearing on that
person's license must be convened by the Department within 15
days after the suspension and completed without appreciable
delay. The Department shall have the authority to review the
subject individual's record of treatment and counseling
regarding the impairment to the extent permitted by applicable

SB1951 - 83 - LRB102 13813 SPS 19163 b
federal statutes and regulations safeguarding the
confidentiality of medical records.
An individual licensed under this Act and affected under
this Section shall be afforded an opportunity to demonstrate
