Deletes reference to: 215 ILCS 106/25 Adds reference to: 215 ILCS 106/40 Deletes everything after the enacting clause. Amends the Children's Health Insurance Program Act. Provides that, in determining eligibility for the Program, the Department may exclude (i) the amount of the child's family medical expenses that are itemized on Schedule A, Form 1040 of the Department of Treasury Internal Revenue Service tax returns for the previous year; or (ii) in the absence of a Schedule A, Form 1040, the amount of extraordinary medical expenses, as defined by the Department of Public Aid, due to chronic illness or disability of a child. Requires that the Department receive a waiver from the responsible federal agency before implementing the provisions of this amendatory Act. Extends the repeal date of the Act to July 1, 2003. Effective immediately. FISCAL NOTE (Illinois Department of Public Aid) The Department cannot determine how many additional children would be eligible for KidCare as a result of this change. Since these children incur high medical expenses, the Department es- timates that each 1,000 children determined eligible under this provision will cost the Department an estimated $8 million per year.
