1 | AMENDMENT TO HOUSE BILL 4836
| ||||||
2 | AMENDMENT NO. ______. Amend House Bill 4836 by replacing | ||||||
3 | everything after the enacting clause with the following:
| ||||||
4 | "Section 5. The Illinois Insurance Code is amended by | ||||||
5 | adding Section 356z.11 as follows: | ||||||
6 | (215 ILCS 5/356z.11 new) | ||||||
7 | Sec. 356z.11. Individual and group accident and health | ||||||
8 | insurance. When the term "individual and group accident and | ||||||
9 | health insurance" is used in this Code, unless otherwise | ||||||
10 | specified, it shall not apply to policies that cover dental | ||||||
11 | care only, short-term travel, accident-only, limited, or | ||||||
12 | specified disease policies or to policies or contracts designed | ||||||
13 | for issuance to persons eligible for coverage under Title XVIII | ||||||
14 | of the Social Security Act, known as Medicare, or any other | ||||||
15 | similar coverage under State or federal governmental plans. | ||||||
16 | Notwithstanding any other rulemaking authority that may |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | exist, neither the Governor nor any agency or agency head under | ||||||
2 | the jurisdiction of the Governor has any authority to make or | ||||||
3 | promulgate rules to implement or enforce the provisions of this | ||||||
4 | amendatory Act of the 95th General Assembly. If, however, the | ||||||
5 | Governor believes that rules are necessary to implement or | ||||||
6 | enforce the provisions of this amendatory Act of the 95th | ||||||
7 | General Assembly, the Governor may suggest rules to the General | ||||||
8 | Assembly by filing them with the Clerk of the House and the | ||||||
9 | Secretary of the Senate and by requesting that the General | ||||||
10 | Assembly authorize such rulemaking by law, enact those | ||||||
11 | suggested rules into law, or take any other appropriate action | ||||||
12 | in the General Assembly's discretion. Nothing contained in this | ||||||
13 | amendatory Act of the 95th General Assembly shall be | ||||||
14 | interpreted to grant rulemaking authority under any other | ||||||
15 | Illinois statute where such authority is not otherwise | ||||||
16 | explicitly given. For the purposes of this amendatory Act of | ||||||
17 | the 95th General Assembly, "rules" is given the meaning | ||||||
18 | contained in Section 1-70 of the Illinois Administrative | ||||||
19 | Procedure Act, and "agency" and "agency head" are given the | ||||||
20 | meanings contained in Sections 1-20 and 1-25 of the Illinois | ||||||
21 | Administrative Procedure Act to the extent that such | ||||||
22 | definitions apply to agencies or agency heads under the | ||||||
23 | jurisdiction of the Governor. ".
