House Floor Amendment No. 1
In provisions concerning the Illinois Workers' Compensation Commission Operations Fund surcharge, provides that after the effective date of the amendatory Act, the Director of Insurance shall make a loan of $10,000,000 (rather than make one or more loans in an amount not to exceed an aggregate amount of $10,000,000) to the Illinois Employers Mutual Insurance Company from the Illinois Workers' Compensation Commission Operations Fund for the start-up funding and initial capitalization of the Company. Makes changes to the term years for members of the Board of directors. Makes changes to the qualifications for the Board director.
