AI Summary
- Amends the Unified Code of Corrections to expand annual reporting requirements for the Illinois Department of Corrections regarding end-of-life care
- Requires the Department to report the cost of end-of-life care for committed persons who died of natural causes but were not enrolled in hospice or palliative care programs
- Addresses concerns about inconsistent end-of-life care across Illinois prisons, which currently lack a formal hospice program and provide care on a prison-by-prison basis
- Notes that Illinois has over 1,000 prisoners aged 65 or older, and the Department lacks centralized data on end-of-life care recipients and patient outcomes
- Builds on existing reporting requirements (effective January 1, 2026) that mandate annual publication of hospice and palliative care data including demographics, enrollment numbers, staffing, and program costs
