Illinois HB2356 mandates timely notifications to authorities when a person is deemed a clear and present danger by a mental health professional.
HB2356 amends the Mental Health and Developmental Disabilities Code to require mental health professionals and certain officials to notify the Department of Human Services and law enforcement within 24 hours if they determine a person poses a clear and present danger. The bill ensures the confidentiality of the reporting process and protects the identity of the person reporting. It also shields professionals from liability unless there is willful misconduct.
