Replaces various references to "sexual assault" with "acute sexual assault". Deletes the definition of "prepubescent sexual assault survivor".

Makes changes in various provisions concerning plans of correction and penalties for hospitals that commit specified violations of the Act. In provisions regarding requirements for medical forensic services, provides that the provisions of the Act are not intended to prohibit a qualified medical provider from offering an Illinois Sexual Assault Evidence Collection Kit to a sexual assault survivor who presents at a treatment hospital or approved pediatric health care facility with a nonacute complaint of sexual assault if there is a compelling reason for evidence collection, or upon the request of the survivor. In provisions regarding the prohibition on billing sexual assault survivors directly for certain services, changes references to the Office of the Attorney General to references to the Department of Healthcare and Family Services.
AI Summary
This bill amends the Sexual Assault Survivors Emergency Treatment Act to improve and clarify provisions related to medical treatment and forensic services for sexual assault survivors. The bill introduces a more precise definition of "acute sexual assault" as a sexual assault that has recently occurred, with specific time frames: within 72 hours for patients under 13 and within 168 hours (7 days) for patients 13 and older. It modifies requirements for hospitals and approved pediatric health care facilities in providing medical forensic services, including stricter protocols for offering Illinois State Police Sexual Assault Evidence Collection Kits. The bill establishes a new complaint system for the Department of Public Health to investigate violations, with a graduated penalty system for non-compliance. It also creates a Sexual Assault Survivor Treatment Regulation Fund and introduces more detailed requirements for maintaining a list of qualified medical providers, including Sexual Assault Nurse Examiners and Sexual Assault Forensic Examiners. The bill aims to ensure more comprehensive, compassionate, and standardized care for sexual assault survivors, with a focus on providing timely, evidence-based medical services and protecting survivors from being billed for necessary medical care.
