THE FOLLOWING IS AN OFFICE OF ILLINOIS HOUSE REPUBLICANS RELEASE
State Representative Brandun Schweizer (R-Danville) passed his first bill out of the Illinois House of Representatives Friday afternoon.
HB 3504 was filed to prevent a problem between State insurance and Carle Clinic in the sponsor’s district. System members went to the hospital and were unaware that they were no longer covered in network. The bill provides that at least 60 days prior to the effective date of any changes to the coverage or benefit recipient cost share for TRS benefit recipients, the Department of Central Management Services shall post those changes on its website. The representative believes the transparency afforded by this bill is necessary for members.
The bill passed unanimously on a vote of 106-0 and will now head to the Senate for their consideration.
