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