Illinois Code § 6.27

§ 6.27.

Intended parent; delivery room. (a) As used in this Section, "gestational surrogate", "gestational surrogacy contract", and "intended parent" have the meanings given to those terms in Section 10 of the Gestational Surrogacy Act. (b) If a hospital has a gestational surrogacy contract on file for a gestational surrogate or has otherwise received the gestational surrogacy contract from a gestational surrogate, the hospital may not deny an intended parent entry into the delivery room where the gestational surrogate is being induced or in labor, except as provided under subsection (c). (c) A hospital is not required to allow entry into the delivery room to an intended parent if: (1) medical personnel determine that the gestational surrogate's life or health could be jeopardized if an intended parent is present; (2) the gestational surrogacy contract prohibits an intended parent from being present; or (3) medical personnel determine there is other good cause to prohibit an intended parent from being present, including, but not limited to, if the intended parent is causing a disturbance or other security concerns.
