Illinois § 2

§ 2.

Any physician or surgeon licensed in Illinois, or any medical college or school, or other institution of higher science education or school of mortuary science, public or private, before receiving any dead body under this Act, shall give to the proper authority a sufficient receipt and bond that the body shall be used only for the promotion of medical, anatomical, biological or mortuary science within this State. No dead human body may be received by a physician or surgeon, medical college or school, or other institution or school unless the body is accompanied by a Permit for Disposition of Dead Human Body as provided by Section 21 of the Vital Records Act and the Rules and Regulations for the Transportation and Disposal of the Dead as promulgated by the Illinois Department of Public Health. Whoever (1) uses a dead human body for any other purpose, or (2) removes a dead human body beyond the limits of this State, or (3) sells or buys any dead human body or traffics in dead human bodies; or (4) receives any dead human body that is not accompanied by a Permit for Disposition of Dead Human Body, is guilty of a Class A misdemeanor. Every fine accruing from a conviction under this Section shall be paid into the common school fund of the county where the offense was committed. (Source: P.A. 87-895.)
