Synopsis As Introduced
Amends the State Employees Group Insurance Act of 1971. Makes a technical change in a Section concerning the short title.

House Floor Amendment No. 1
Deletes reference to:
5 ILCS 375/1
Adds reference to:
5 ILCS 377/10-5
5 ILCS 377/10-10

Replaces everything after the enacting clause. Amends the State Employee Health Savings Account Law. Defines a dependent as a person who qualifies as a dependent under a specific provision of the State Employee Group Insurance Act of 1971 and who, if age 26 or above, also qualifies as a dependent under a specific provision of the Internal Revenue Code. Includes the child of a party to a civil union as a dependent. Requires a party to, or the child of a party to, a civil union to qualify as a dependent under the Internal Revenue Code in order to qualify as a dependent. Provides that in order to qualify as an eligible individual an employee may not be entitled to Medicare or be claimed as a dependent on another person's tax return. Changes the maximum deductible for high deductible health plans from $5,000 for plans providing self-only coverage and $10,000 for plans providing family coverage to, in both cases, the highest level authorized by the federal Internal Revenue Service. Delays the date by which each employer must make a health savings account program available to each eligible individual and upon which each individual may deposit contributions into a health savings account. Exempts certain employers from the requirement to make a health savings account available to each eligible individual. Also makes technical changes. Effective immediately.

House Floor Amendment No. 2
Provides that "dependent" means a dependent as defined under a specific provision of the State Employees Group Insurance Act of 1971, provided that the person also satisfies certain provisions in the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 defining the term "dependent".
