Bill Summary
Amends the Hospital Licensing Act and the University of Illinois Hospital Act. Provides that, unless otherwise required by Illinois law, no hospital, individual affiliated with a hospital, or person contracted with a hospital shall release information related to any person or entity that allows a child to receive gender-affirming health care or gender-affirming mental health care in response to any criminal or civil action, including a foreign subpoena, based on another state's law that authorizes a civil action to be brought against any person or entity that allows a child to receive gender-affirming health care or gender-affirming mental health care. Amends the Illinois Insurance Code, the State Employees Group Insurance Act of 1971, the Counties Code, the Illinois Municipal Code, the School Code, the Health Maintenance Organization Act, the Limited Health Service Organization Act, the Voluntary Health Services Plans Act, and the Illinois Public Aid Code to prohibit the same release of information from an issuer of a policy of accident or health insurance.
AI Summary
This bill aims to protect individuals seeking or providing gender-affirming health care and gender-affirming mental health care in Illinois by preventing the release of related information. Specifically, it prohibits hospitals, individuals affiliated with hospitals, and contracted entities from disclosing any information that could reveal a child's receipt of such care when faced with legal actions, including subpoenas, from other states that penalize providing this care. This protection extends to issuers of accident and health insurance policies. The bill also amends various Illinois laws, including those governing state employee insurance, counties, municipalities, schools, health maintenance organizations, limited health service organizations, voluntary health services plans, and public aid, to ensure these protections are broadly applied across different healthcare and insurance contexts.
