Senate Bill 1564, an amendment to the health care "right of conscience" law, requires medical providers to give patients information on procedures they won’t perform because of religious or moral objections, including abortion. The law was signed by Governor Rauner signed the bill in August and will take effect in January 2017.

Of the new law, Robin Fretwell Wilson told the Peoria Public Radio that "the law is a good compromise that puts the onus for giving information and access to care on the institution rather than the individual doctor or nurse. ... The amended law will put the state in the middle of the spectrum of states emphasizing patients’ rights and those leaving heavily toward freedom of religion."
