Bill	MENTAL HLTH-INVOLUNTARY ADMIT	Amends the Mental Health and Developmental Disabilities Code. Provides that "person subject to involuntary admission" includes (i) a person with mental illness and who because of his or her illness is reasonably expected to engage in dangerous conduct (instead of reasonably expected to inflict serious physical harm upon himself or herself or another in the near future) and (ii) a person with mental illness who, because of the nature of his or her illness, is unable to understand his or her need for treatment and who, if not treated, is reasonably expected to suffer or continue to suffer mental deterioration or emotional deterioration, or both, to the point that the person is reasonably expected to engage in dangerous conduct. Defines "dangerous conduct" as threatening behavior or conduct that places another individual in reasonable expectation of being harmed, or a person's inability to provide, without the assistance of family or outside help, for his or her basic physical needs so as to guard himself or herself from serious harm.	us/states/il	Illinois General Assembly	95th	SB 234	Illinois SB 234 (95th)	bill		enacted		3	73	3	2007-02-07	2007-09-11	openstates	ocd-bill/205d03d9-623f-4ec7-ae0b-f11a2051d8db	http://ilga.gov/legislation/BillStatus.asp?DocNum=234&GAID=9&DocTypeID=SB&LegId=27706&SessionID=51&GA=95	774f2eb73f0670180d5c856fbfc42295246b6137c8a78c82a69926b46c9a3023	2026-07-01	https://data.openstates.org/daily/2026-07-01/public.pgdump	2026-07-06	reported	legislation bill us-il
