Bill Overview
Analyzed Economic Effects
7 provisions identified: 5 benefits, 0 costs, 2 mixed.
Emergency meds and care after exams
Hospitals and approved pediatric facilities must have a Department‑approved protocol to explain emergency contraception and provide it at no cost when ordered. Facilities must provide needed medicines, including HIV prevention, during the visit and after discharge, with your consent and under CDC guidance. After the exam, you must be offered a free shower if one is available.
Faster access through hospital plans
Hospitals must choose and follow an approved plan: provide forensic exams, transfer all survivors, or transfer children and examine ages 13+. Exams must start within 90 minutes at the designated site, and transfers for children are only allowed if the receiving site can meet that timing. Hospitals and pediatric facilities can form areawide plans, and in counties under 1,000,000 people near a 4‑year public university, at least one nearby treatment hospital must be in the plan. The Department checks transfer plans to ensure they are not an undue burden and that receiving hospitals agree. Out‑of‑state hospitals on Illinois’ borders may join if they follow Illinois rules; this option ends after January 1, 2029. The state can give grants to help build these services.
Stronger rules for evidence and records
Providers must offer the Illinois State Police evidence kit. You may refuse any part. After the exam, you get a written consent form to allow testing; you can sign at age 13 or older, and a parent or guardian signs for children under 13. If evidence is collected, the facility must notify police within 4 hours, re‑notify at 5 days, and contact the State’s Attorney at 10 days if it is not picked up. Photos and exam records are kept securely—60 years after you turn 18 if you were a minor at the visit, or 20 years for adults—and may be shared only as the law allows.
State oversight, complaints, and penalties
Beginning January 1, 2024, the Department runs a complaint system for violations. If a hospital breaks the law, it gets a written notice and has 10 business days to submit a correction plan and 60 days to carry it out. Missing plan deadlines can bring fines up to $500 per day. The Department also does on‑site reviews. If a facility fails to fix violations, the state may impose fines of $1,500–$3,000 for a first violation and $3,000–$5,000 for later ones, with money going to the Sexual Assault Services Fund; the Attorney General can enforce collection.
More trained examiners statewide
The Attorney General runs a Sexual Assault Nurse Examiner program that lists trained examiners and offers training that counts for continuing education. Starting January 1, 2026, the Attorney General keeps a Qualified Medical Provider List of examiners who meet SANE standards. Listed examiners must verify training and skills every three years by April 30; those with a lapse over one year must do a mock exam. Emergency department clinicians who are not qualified examiners must complete 2 hours of training and then 2 hours every two years. By January 1, 2020, rules allow physicians and physician assistants to document training and experience to qualify as forensic examiners.
No bills; vouchers cover survivor care
Beginning January 1, 2024, providers may not bill sexual assault survivors for outpatient forensic exams, related outpatient care, transport, follow‑ups, or medicines. Providers must bill Medicaid or your insurer and accept those payments, with any deductibles or co‑pays sent to the State’s Sexual Assault Emergency Treatment Program. The hospital must give you a voucher at your first visit so ambulance, exam, treatment, labs, pharmacy, and follow‑up care (within 180 days) can be paid. If you are covered under someone else’s private plan and are not the policyholder, you can opt out of insurer billing; the state program will be billed instead. Hospitals must give you a written notice explaining these billing protections, and separate‑billing providers must file protocols with the Attorney General to prevent survivor billing. Inpatient services remain billable if you are admitted.
Old sections repealed in 2026
Effective January 1, 2026, Sections 2.1 and 8.5 of the Sexual Assault Survivors Emergency Treatment Act are repealed. The effect depends on what those sections previously required or funded.
