ASSISTED SUICIDE

HB 4381 repeals Illinois' existing End-of-Life Options for Terminally Ill Patients Act. This bill directly affects terminally ill patients who previously had access to a legal framework for physician aid in dying under the repealed law. The key provision is the complete removal of the statute, ending the current program without establishing new provisions. The repeal would eliminate the specific process allowing qualified patients to request and receive aid in dying through a physician. The bill does not create new policies but reverses the existing legal mechanism.
