SEXUAL ASSAULT TREATMENT
Summary
Amends the Sexual Assault Survivors Emergency Treatment Act. Defines "acute sexual assault" as a sexual assault that has recently occurred within a specified time. Replaces various references to "sexual assault" with "acute sexual assault". Deletes the definition of "prepubescent sexual assault survivor". Changes provisions regarding hospitals located in counties with a population of less than 1,000,000 and within a 20-mile radius of a 4-year public university with respect to a sexual assault treatment plan approved by the Department of Public Health. Makes changes in various provisions concerning plans of correction and penalties for hospitals that commit specified violations of the Act. In provisions regarding requirements for medical forensic services, provides that the provisions of the Act are not intended to prohibit a qualified medical provider from offering an Illinois Sexual Assault Evidence Collection Kit to a sexual assault survivor who presents at a treatment hospital or approved pediatric health care facility with a nonacute complaint of sexual assault if there is a compelling reason for evidence collection, or upon the request of the survivor. In provisions regarding the prohibition on billing sexual assault survivors directly for certain services, changes references to the Office of the Attorney General to references to the Department of Healthcare and Family Services.

MODERATE
The bill was finalized for signature by removing a separate funding provision for a new treatment fund and updating the list of sections to be amended. The text was also edited to standardize terminology, changing references from 'medical forensic services' to 'medical forensic examination services' and clarifying the scope of facilities that can provide these services.
Scope change
The bill's scope was refined by removing the creation of a standalone 'Sexual Assault Survivor Treatment Regulation Fund' and instead focusing solely on amending the existing Sexual Assault Survivors Emergency Treatment Act.
FISCAL
Deleted a section that would have created a new 'Sexual Assault Survivor Treatment Regulation Fund' and added it to the State Finance Act.
DEFINITION
Changed the term 'Medical forensic services' to 'Medical forensic examination services' throughout the bill to ensure consistent terminology.
REQUIREMENT
Updated the definition of 'Hospital' to explicitly include 'treatment hospitals with approved pediatric transfer' capabilities in the list of eligible locations for medical forensic examinations.
TECHNICAL
Corrected minor formatting inconsistencies and adjusted the list of specific sections within the Sexual Assault Survivors Emergency Treatment Act that are being amended.
