Synopsis of Bill as introduced:
        Amends the Workers' Compensation  Act.  Provides  that  a  person      
   convicted of insurance fraud committed against a workers' compensation      
   insurer   or  self-insurer  is  ineligible  to  receive  compensation,      
   disability, or medical benefits under the Act if those  benefits  were      
   received  as  a  result of the violation. Establishes requirements for      
   advertising to solicit persons to file workers' compensation claims or      
   to engage or consult counsel or a medical care provider or  clinic  to      
   consider a workers' compensation claim. Provides that a person may not      
   solicit  another  person  to  file a workers' compensation claim or to      
   engage or consult counsel or a medical  care  provider  or  clinic  to      
   consider  a  workers'  compensation claim through the use of a true or      
   fictitious name that is deceptive or misleading  with  regard  to  the      
   status,  character,  or  proprietary or representative capacity of the      
   entity or person,  or  to  the  true  purpose  of  the  advertisement.      
   Provides that a violation of the advertising requirements is a Class 4      
   felony.
