IL SB1411

Amends the Illinois Living Will Act to clarify that a living will declaration is not operative when a health care agent is available and authorized to make decisions about life-sustaining or death delaying procedures under a health care power of attorney

Prohibits physicians, health care providers, employees, or facilities from requiring execution of a POLST (Physician Orders for Life-Sustaining Treatment) form to implement a qualified patient's living will declaration

Requires health care providers to rely on and comply with a qualified patient's declaration when it is apparent and immediately available, provided the patient lacks ability to give directions about death delaying procedures

Preserves surrogate decision makers' authority under the Health Care Surrogate Act to make life-sustaining treatment decisions for patients who lack decisional capacity

Establishes four conditions for a living will declaration to become operative: valid execution, no revocation, patient inability to give directions, and patient qualifying status
