|
| 2 | | Be it enacted by the People of the State of Illinois,
|
| 3 | | represented in the General Assembly:
|
| 4 | | Section 5. The Illinois Insurance Code is amended by |
| 5 | | changing Section 356z.33 as follows:

| 9 | | insurance or a managed care plan that is amended, delivered, |
| 10 | | issued, or renewed on or after January 1, 2020 (the effective |
| 11 | | date of Public Act 101-281) shall provide coverage for |
| 12 | | medically necessary epinephrine injectors for persons 18 years |
| 13 | | of age or under. As used in this Section, "epinephrine |

| 20 | | $60, regardless of the type of epinephrine injector. |
