IL HB2680

Amends the Consent by Minors to Medical Procedures Act to define "physician" as one licensed under the Medical Practice Act of 1987, replacing outdated licensing language.

Allows minors aged 14-17 living separately from parents or guardians to consent to primary care services (screening, counseling, immunizations, medication, and treatment) when identified in writing by an adult relative, homeless service agency representative, attorney, school liaison, social service agency, or religious organization representative.

Protects health care professionals from civil or criminal liability when they rely in good faith on a minor's representations or written identification documentation regarding consent to primary care services.

Preserves confidentiality of communications between health care professionals and minors seeking care, even when additional persons are present or when billing insurance, and does not affect parental rights or the Parental Notice of Abortion Act.

Maintains existing provisions allowing parents who are minors to consent to medical procedures for their children, and allowing emergency treatment without parental consent when obtaining it would adversely affect a minor's health.
