Bill > HB1456

This bill proposes to repeal provisions in the Illinois Public Aid Code related to medical services for noncitizens. Specifically, the bill removes several existing provisions that previously allowed the Department of Healthcare and Family Services to provide medical assistance to noncitizens in various age groups and circumstances. These removed provisions include coverage for noncitizens over 42 years old, kidney transplantation services for noncitizens with end-stage renal disease, and immunosuppressive drugs and related services for noncitizens post-kidney transplant. The bill effectively eliminates these specific medical service provisions for noncitizens, narrowing the scope of medical assistance available to non-citizen residents of Illinois. By removing these sections, the bill reduces the medical coverage options for noncitizens who previously may have qualified for limited medical services under the state's medical assistance program.
