215 ILCS 5/356c

from Ch. 73, par. 968c

Synopsis As Introduced
Amends the Illinois Insurance Code. Adds a caption to a Section concerning the insurability of newborns.

	Fiscal Note (Admin Office of the Illinois Courts)
	As amended by HA1 & 2, will have no fiscal impact on the judicial branch of state government, however, reporting requirements imposed on the circuit clerks by section 305 of the bill and section 320 will have some fiscal impact on the circuit courts. The dollar amount of fiscal impact cannot be determined, because the scope of the reporting requirement is unknown.

	Judicial Note (Admin Office of the Illinois Courts)
	As amended by HA1 & 2, it may create a minimal increase in judicial workloads. However, the bill would not increase the number of judges needed in the state.

	State Debt Impact Note (Economic and Fiscal Commission)
	As amended by HA1 & 2, would not change the amount of authorization for any type of State-issued or State-supported bond, and, therefore would not affect the level of State indebtedness.

	Pension Note (Economic and Fiscal Commission)
	As amended by HA1 & 2, does not amend the Pension Code and would not affect employees covered by any Illinois public pension fund or retirement system.

	Housing Affordability Impact Note (Housing Development Authority)
	Senate Bill 2241, as amended by House Amendment 1 and 2, will have no effect on the cost of constructing, purchasing, owning, or selling a single-family residence.

	State Mandates Fiscal Note (Department of Commerce and Economic Opportunity)
	Senate Bill 2241 (House Amendment 1 and 2) does not create a State mandate under the State Mandates Act

	Home Rule Note (Department of Commerce and Economic Opportunity)
	Senate Bill 2241 (House Amendment 1 and 2) does not pre-empt home rule authority.
