 4        (30 ILCS 540/1) (from Ch. 127, par. 132.401)
 5        Sec. 1.  This Act applies to any State official or agency
 6    authorized to provide for payment from State funds, by virtue
 7    of any appropriation of the General Assembly,  for  goods  or
 8    services furnished to the State.
 9        Except  as  provided in Section 2.1, for purposes of this
10    Act, "goods or services furnished to the State"  include  but
11    are  not  limited to covered health care provided to eligible
12    members and their covered dependents in accordance  with  the
13    State  Employees  Group  Insurance  Act  of  1971,  including
14    coverage   through   a   physician-owned  health  maintenance
15    organization under Section 6.1 of that Act;  however,  "goods
16    or  services  furnished  to the State" do not include medical
17    assistance provided to public aid recipients  and  reimbursed

29    is  eligible  for  health  benefits under the State Employees
30    Group Insurance Act of 1971,  and  "member"  and  "dependent"
31    have the meanings ascribed to those terms in that Act.
