Each health care provider and each other  person who acts in good faith reliance on any direction or decision by the  agent that is not clearly contrary to the terms of a health care agency (a  "reliant") will be protected and released to the same extent as though the  reliant had dealt directly with the principal as a fully-competent person.

The agent shall then be responsible to make the necessary  arrangements for the transfer of the patient to another provider.  It is  understood that a provider who is unwilling to comply with the agent's  decision will continue to afford reasonably necessary consultation and care  in connection with the transfer.(c) If the actions of a health care provider who fails to comply with  any direction or decision by the agent are substantially in accord with  reasonable medical standards at the time of reference and the provider  cooperates in the transfer of the patient pursuant to subsection (b) of  Section 4-7 of this Act, the provider shall not be subject to any type of civil  or  criminal liability or discipline for unprofessional conduct for failure to  comply with the agent.(d) No agent who in good faith acts with due care for the benefit of the  patient and in accordance with the terms of a health care agency, or who  fails to act, shall be subject to any type of civil or criminal liability  for such action or inaction.(e) If the patient's death results from withholding or withdrawing  life-sustaining treatment in accordance with the terms of a health care  agency, the death shall not constitute a suicide or homicide for any  purpose under any statute or other rule of law and shall not impair or  invalidate any insurance, annuity or other type of contract that is  conditioned on the life or death of the patient, any term of the contract to  the contrary notwithstanding.

Sec. 1-5. Purpose. Illinois recognizes that there is a critical shortage  of human organs and tissues available  to citizens in need of organ and tissue transplants. This shortage leads to the  untimely death of  many adults and children in Illinois and across the nation each year. This Act  is intended to  implement the public policy of encouraging timely donation of human organs and  tissue in  Illinois, facilitating transplantation of those organs and tissue into patients  in need of them, and encouraging anatomical gifts for therapy, research, or education.  Through this Act, laws relating to organ and tissue donation and  transplantation are consolidated  and modified for the purpose of furthering this public policy, and for the purpose of establishing consistency between this Act and the core provisions of the Revised Uniform Anatomical Gift Act drafted by the National Conference of Commissioners on Uniform State Laws.
