House Amendment 002

Adds embalmers to the list of persons who may fill out the self-issued permit and transport a dead human body under the amendatory Act. Provides that the amendatory Act does not affect any rights or responsibilities held by county medical examiners or coroners under the Local Governmental and Governmental Employees Tort Immunity Act.

House Amendment 001

Replaces everything after the enacting clause. Amends the Vital Records Act. Provides that no permit for transportation signed by the local registrar is required prior to transporting a dead human body out of the State of Illinois, at the direction of a federally designated organ procurement organization, for the purpose of organ or tissue donation. Provides that the dead human body being transported for the purpose of organ or tissue donation shall be accompanied by a self-issued permit in accordance with rules adopted by the Department of Public Health. Provides that the self-issued permit shall be completed by an Illinois-licensed funeral director and shall serve as notification to the county medical examiner or coroner of the jurisdiction or county in which the death occurred that the dead human body is being transported out of Illinois for a period not to exceed 36 hours. Provides that the new provisions apply only to instances in which the dead human body is to be returned to Illinois prior to disposition. Directs the Department of Public Health to adopt rules to implement the new provisions.
