| 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 356h as follows:
|
| 6 |
| (215 ILCS 5/356h) (from Ch. 73, par. 968h)
|
| 7 |
| Sec. 356h.
No individual or group policy of accident and
|
| 8 |
| and health
insurance which covers the insured's immediate |
| 9 |
| family or children, as well
as covering the insured, shall |
| 10 |
| exclude a child from coverage or limit
coverage for a child |
| 11 |
| solely because the child is an adopted child, or
solely because |
| 12 |
| the child does not reside with the insured. For purposes of
|
| 13 |
| this Section, a child who is in the custody of the insured, |
| 14 |
| pursuant to an
interim court order of adoption or, in the case |
| 15 |
| of group insurance, placement
of adoption, whichever comes |
| 16 |
| first, vesting temporary care of the child in
the
insured, is |
| 17 |
| an adopted child, regardless of whether a final order granting
|
| 18 |
| adoption is ultimately issued. |
