Senate Bill 1950 (HFA 2), the End-of-Life Options for Terminally Ill Patients Act would allow adults in Illinois who are mentally capable and have a terminal illness – and a prognosis of less than 6 months or less to live – to obtain a prescription medication they may decide to take so they can die peacefully and end their suffering. Medical Aid in Dying is a trusted and time-tested medical practice that is part of the full spectrum of end-of-life care options, including hospice and palliative care. Passing this bill would bring Illinois in line with 10 other states and the District of Columbia.
On Wednesday, May 28, 2025 at 10AM, SB 1950 will be heard during the Illinois House Executive Committe. This bill is an initiative of the ACLU of Illinois and Compassion in Choices. Take action by filing a witness slip to support this critical measure.
