1 AN ACT concerning insurance.
2 Be it enacted by the People of the State of Illinois,
3 represented in the General Assembly:
4 Section 5. The Illinois Insurance Code is amended by
5 changing Section 356h as follows:
6 (215 ILCS 5/356h) (from Ch. 73, par. 968h)
7 Sec. 356h. Adopted children. No individual or group
8 policy of accident and health insurance which covers the
9 insured's immediate family or children, as well as covering
10 the insured, shall exclude a child from coverage or limit
11 coverage for a child solely because the child is an adopted
12 child, or solely because the child does not reside with the
13 insured. For purposes of this Section, a child who is in the
14 custody of the insured, pursuant to an interim court order of
15 adoption or, in the case of group insurance, placement of
16 adoption, whichever comes first, vesting temporary care of
17 the child in the insured, is an adopted child, regardless of
18 whether a final order granting adoption is ultimately issued.
