If passed into law, SB 2644 will establish an electronic registry for POLST forms, which are forms that state a person's wishes for end of life care.  We believe it's in the best interest of a patient to keep his written end of life wishes among his close family members, especially the one he has chosen to be his health care power of attorney, and not to be made available in a statewide registry.

We are sorry to report that this bill has passed the Illinois Senate on April 9th by a vote of 55 to 0. It is now pending in the Illinois House. It is urgent that your state representative hear from you immediately.
