A Democrat-sponsored bill to allow terminally ill adults in Illinois to obtain life-ending medication has cleared the General Assembly and awaits Gov. J.B. Pritzker’s review following a 30–27 Senate vote in the early hours of Oct. 31, after House passage in May.

The Senate's social affairs commission amended the bill on the 'right to assisted dying' on Wednesday, January 7, renaming it 'medical assistance in dying' to limit access to patients at the very end of life. Senators toned down the deputies' initial text, which used a broader criterion of 'vital prognosis engaged.' This initiative, pledged by Emmanuel Macron, will be debated in session from January 20 to 28.
