Illinois SB3961, known as the Dignity for Aborted Children Act, requires physicians to offer patients options for the disposal of fetal tissue following an abortion. Patients can choose to take possession of the tissue and transfer it to an entity for interment or cremation, or they can release the tissue to the physician. Physicians must provide informed consent forms and retain them in the patient's file. Physicians are mandated to ensure the final disposition of fetal tissue through interment or cremation within seven days of the abortion.
