Short description: 
ACCESS TO HEALTH CARE PLAN ACT                                             

Synopsis of Bill as introduced:
        Creates the Access to Health Care Planning  Act.   Provides  that      
   the State of Illinois shall implement a health care plan that provides      
   access to a full range of preventive, acute, and long-term health care      
   services.   Establishes  the  Bipartisan Health Care Reform Commission      
   with members  appointed  by  the  Governor  and  legislative  leaders.      
   Provides  for public hearings and a report by the Commission. Requires      
   a preliminary report by January 1, 2003 and a final report by  January      
   1, 2005. Effective immediately.                                             
          FISCAL NOTE (Department of Public Health)                            
          The Department of Public Health cannot determine the fiscal          
          impact of this legislation at this time.                             
        HOUSE AMENDMENT NO. 1.                                                 
        Replaces everything  after  the  enacting  clause.   Creates  the      
   Access  to  Health  Care  Planning  Act.   Provides  that the State of      
   Illinois shall implement a health care plan that provides access to  a      
   full  range  of preventive, acute, and long-term health care services.      
   Deletes  provisions  creating  the  Bipartisan  Health   Care   Reform      
   Commission  and  gives  its  duties  to  the  Department of Insurance.      
   Provides that the Department of Insurance shall hold  public  hearings      
   and   report  to  the  Governor  and  General  Assembly.   Requires  a      
   preliminary report by January 1, 2004 and a final report by January 1,      
   2006. Effective immediately.                                                
          STATE DEBT NOTE, H-AM 1                                              
          (Illinois Economic and Fiscal Commission)                            
          HB 1984, as amended, would not affect the bonding authorization      
          of the State, and, therefore, has no direct impact on the level      
          of State indebtedness.                                               
          FISCAL NOTE, H-AM 1 (Department of Insurance)                        
          HB 1984, with H-am 1, would create an additional estimated           
          fiscal impact of approximately $1.9 million for the Department.      
          Associated costs would include: travel expenses to conduct the       
          requisite public hearings, hiring of expert/technical staff,         
          office space, printing and supply needs. This estimate would         
          change based on the need for professional contractual services       
          like actuaries and/or the need for other services.                   
          STATE MANDATES NOTE, H-AM 1                                          
          (Illinois Department of Commerce and Community Affairs)              
          In the opinion of DCCA, HB 1984 with H-am 1 does not create a        
          State mandate under the State Mandates Act.
