Short description: 
PUBLIC HEALTH-OBESITY STUDY                                                

Synopsis of Bill as introduced:
        Amends the Civil Administrative Code of Illinois.   Requires  the      
   Department  of  Public  Health to study the effect of obesity, in both      
   adults and children, on costly health complications such as  diabetes,      
   hypertension,  heart  disease, and stroke and make recommendations for      
   improving public and  private  sector  awareness  of  the  problem  of      
   obesity and suggested treatment modalities.  Effective immediately.         
        HOUSE AMENDMENT NO. 1.                                                 
        Provides that the Department of Public  Health  shall  convene  a      
   committee  to  study the effect of obesity (rather than the Department      
   itself conducting  the  study).    Provides  for  appointment  of  the      
   committee  members  by  the  Director  of  Public  Health  and  the  4      
   legislative leaders.                                                        
        HOUSE AMENDMENT NO. 2.                                                 
        Deletes  certain  legislative  findings.    Replaces   provisions      
   concerning   an   obesity   study,   and  provides  that,  subject  to      
   appropriation, the Department of Public Health shall cause a study  to      
   be  made  on  the effect of obesity on costly health complications and      
   shall make recommendations for improving awareness of the  problem  of      
   obesity  and suggested treatment modalities.  Requires a report to the      
   Governor and the General Assembly by December 31, 2000.
