IL SB3795

Amends Illinois' End-of-Life Options for Terminally Ill Patients Act to require mandatory mental health evaluations by a psychiatrist or clinical psychologist for all patients requesting medical aid in dying, rather than only when physicians observe signs of impaired decision-making capacity.

Establishes a Medical Aid-in-Dying Ombudsman Program within the Department of Public Health with authority to review compliance, investigate complaints, and operate a secure reporting portal and hotline; patients expressing financial concerns about ongoing care costs must be referred to the Ombudsman before providing informed consent.

Requires attending physicians to specifically discuss potential influences on patient decisions, including concerns about financial costs, burden on family/caregivers, loss of autonomy, decreasing ability to enjoy activities, loss of bodily function control, inadequate pain control, and loss of dignity.

Changes death certificate requirements so that a qualified patient's act of self-administering medication shall be indicated on the death certificate, reversing the prior provision that prohibited such notation.

Mandates training for participating healthcare professionals on abuse prevention, bias recognition, and disability-competent care, while narrowing the definition of "licensed mental health care professional" to exclude clinical social workers and advanced practice registered nurses.
