(405 ILCS 5/2-200) (from Ch. 91 1/2, par. 2-200)
Sec. 2-200. (a) Upon commencement of services, or as soon thereafter as
the condition of the recipient permits, every adult recipient, as well as the
recipient's guardian or substitute decision maker, and every recipient who is
12
years of age or older and the parent or guardian of a minor or person
under guardianship shall be informed orally and in writing of the rights
guaranteed by this Chapter which are relevant to the nature of the
recipient's services
program. The notice shall include, if applicable, the recipient's right to request a transfer to a different Department facility under Section 3-908. Every facility shall also post conspicuously in public areas
a summary of the rights which are relevant to the services delivered by
that facility as well as contact information for the Guardianship and Advocacy Commission and the agency designated by the Governor under Section 1 of the Protection and Advocacy for Persons with Developmental
Disabilities Act.
(b) A recipient who is 12 years of age or older and the parent or guardian
of a minor or person under guardianship at any time may designate, and upon
commencement of services shall be informed of the right to designate, a
person or agency to receive notice under Section 2-201 or to direct that
no information about the recipient be disclosed to any person or agency.
(c) Upon commencement of services, or as soon thereafter as the
condition of the recipient permits, the facility shall ask the adult
recipient or minor recipient admitted pursuant to Section 3-502 whether the
recipient wants the facility to contact the recipient's spouse, parents,
guardian, close relatives, friends, attorney, advocate from the
Guardianship and Advocacy Commission or the agency designated by the
Governor under Section 1 of the Protection and Advocacy for Persons with Developmental
Disabilities Act, or others and
inform them of the recipient's presence at the facility. The facility
shall by phone or by mail contact at least two of those people designated
by the recipient and shall inform them of the recipient's location. If the
recipient so requests, the facility shall also inform them of how to
contact the recipient.
(d) Upon commencement of services, or as soon thereafter as the condition
of the recipient permits, the facility shall advise the recipient as to the
circumstances under which the law permits the use of emergency forced
medication or electroconvulsive therapy under subsection (a) of Section 2-107, restraint under Section
2-108, or seclusion under Section 2-109. At the same time, the facility shall
inquire of the recipient which form of intervention the recipient would prefer
if any of these circumstances should arise. The recipient's preference shall
be noted in the recipient's record and communicated by the facility to the
recipient's guardian or substitute decision maker, if any, and any other
individual designated by the recipient. If any such circumstances subsequently
do arise, the facility shall give due consideration to the preferences of the
recipient regarding which form of intervention to use as communicated to the
facility by the recipient or as stated in the recipient's advance directive.
