Illinois HB2812 ensures next of kin visitation rights for patients on life support.
HB2812 amends the Medical Patient Rights Act to guarantee that the next of kin of a patient on life support can remain with the patient at their bedside, regardless of regular visitation hours. Health care facilities may implement reasonable policies to promote health, safety, and welfare but must not revoke this visitation right. Visitation is subject to facility policies and federal guidelines, with exceptions for endangering health or safety.
