Requires the Department of Healthcare and Family Services to promulgate rules necessary to implement the changes made by this amendatory Act. Further provides that the Department shall implement these rules by January 1, 2012. Makes the reporting, penalty, and rulemaking provisions also applicable to the FamilyCare program under the Children's Health Insurance Program Act. Effective immediately.
