| ||||||
2 | AMENDMENT NO. ______. Amend House Bill 4742, AS AMENDED, by | ||||||
3 | replacing everything after the enacting clause with the | ||||||
4 | following:
| ||||||
5 | "Section 5. The Covering ALL KIDS Health Insurance Act is | ||||||
6 | amended by changing Section 25 as follows: | ||||||
7 | (215 ILCS 170/25) | ||||||
8 | (Section scheduled to be repealed on July 1, 2011)
| ||||||
9 | Sec. 25. Enrollment in Program. The Department shall | ||||||
10 | develop procedures to allow application agents to assist in | ||||||
11 | enrolling children in the Program or other children's health | ||||||
12 | programs operated by the Department. At the Department's | ||||||
13 | discretion, technical assistance payments may be made | ||||||
14 | available for approved applications facilitated by an | ||||||
15 | application agent. The Department shall work with physician | ||||||
16 | provider groups to encourage physicians treating uninsured |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | children to advise the children's parents of the availability | ||||||
2 | of the Program's health benefits and of the means of applying | ||||||
3 | for the Program. The Department shall consider methods for | ||||||
4 | including primary care case managers in the enrollment process | ||||||
5 | for the Program.
| ||||||
6 | Notwithstanding any other rulemaking authority that may | ||||||
7 | exist, neither the Governor nor any agency or agency head under | ||||||
8 | the jurisdiction of the Governor has any authority to make or | ||||||
9 | promulgate rules to implement or enforce the provisions of this | ||||||
10 | amendatory Act of the 95th General Assembly. If, however, the | ||||||
11 | Governor believes that rules are necessary to implement or | ||||||
12 | enforce the provisions of this amendatory Act of the 95th | ||||||
13 | General Assembly, the Governor may suggest rules to the General | ||||||
14 | Assembly by filing them with the Clerk of the House and the | ||||||
15 | Secretary of the Senate and by requesting that the General | ||||||
16 | Assembly authorize such rulemaking by law, enact those | ||||||
17 | suggested rules into law, or take any other appropriate action | ||||||
18 | in the General Assembly's discretion. Nothing contained in this | ||||||
19 | amendatory Act of the 95th General Assembly shall be | ||||||
20 | interpreted to grant rulemaking authority under any other | ||||||
21 | Illinois statute where such authority is not otherwise | ||||||
22 | explicitly given. For the purposes of this amendatory Act of | ||||||
23 | the 95th General Assembly, "rules" is given the meaning | ||||||
24 | contained in Section 1-70 of the Illinois Administrative | ||||||
25 | Procedure Act, and "agency" and "agency head" are given the | ||||||
26 | meanings contained in Sections 1-20 and 1-25 of the Illinois |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | Administrative Procedure Act to the extent that such | ||||||
2 | definitions apply to agencies or agency heads under the | ||||||
3 | jurisdiction of the Governor. | ||||||
