A BILL FOR

 

HB2221LRB101 10265 KTG 55370 b

1    AN ACT concerning abortion.
 
2    Be it enacted by the People of the State of Illinois,
3represented in the General Assembly:
 
4    Section 1. Short title. This Act may be cited as the No
5Taxpayer Funding for Abortion Act.
 
6    Section 5. Public policy. It is the public policy of this
7State that the General Assembly of the State of Illinois does
8solemnly declare and find in reaffirmation of the longstanding
9policy of this State that the unborn child is a human being
10from the time of conception and has a right to life and, to the
11extent consistent with the United States Constitution,
12Illinois law should be interpreted to recognize that right to
13life and to protect unborn life.
14    The General Assembly further declares and finds that, while
15the people of Illinois hold a variety of positions on the issue
16of abortion, they generally oppose the use of tax dollars to
17pay for elective abortions and support the federal Hyde
18Amendment, named after the late Henry J. Hyde, whose memory is
19revered and service celebrated as a Congressman from the great
20State of Illinois. This Act honors the strong beliefs of the
21people of Illinois by prohibiting the taxpayer funding of
22abortion in this State.

12members and dependents, (2) to specify, as covered benefits and
13as optional benefits, the medical services of practitioners in
14all categories licensed under the Medical Practice Act of 1987,

14a recipient received retroactive eligibility, claims must be
15filed within 180 days after the Department determines the
16applicant is eligible. For claims for which the Illinois

9authorization conditions on enrollees of managed care
10organizations.

5providers access to eligibility scores for individuals with an
6admission date who are seeking or receiving services from the
7long term care provider. In order to select the minimum level
8of care eligibility criteria, the Governor shall establish a
9workgroup that includes affected agency representatives and
10stakeholders representing the institutional and home and
