Summary
Reinserts the provisions of the engrossed bill with the following changes. In the Illinois Insurance Code: deletes changes affecting menopause-related conditions; provides that a group or individual policy of accident and health insurance or a managed care plan must provide coverage for medically necessary hormonal and non-hormonal therapy to treat menopausal and perimenopausal symptoms or conditions if the therapy is recommended by a qualified health care provider and the therapy has been proven safe and effective in peer-reviewed scientific studies and is prescribed in accordance with current evidence-based guidelines; provides that coverage for therapy to treat menopausal and perimenopausal symptoms or conditions must include all federal Food and Drug Administration-approved modalities of hormonal and non-hormonal administration; and provides that coverage must include medications for menopause-related osteoporosis and non-hormonal therapies for vasomotor symptoms. In the Illinois Human Rights Act, removes menopause-related conditions from the definition of "unlawful discrimination". In the Employment Article of the Illinois Human Rights Act: provides that "reasonable accommodations" for pregnancy include flexible scheduling or modified work hours and temperature or climate-adjusted workspace; removes language providing that it is a civil rights violation for an employer to discriminate in any way or refuse or fail to provide reasonable accommodations for an employee because of a menopause-related condition; and provides that the notice summarizing the requirements of the Article must include information about the right to reasonable accommodations for pregnancy, which includes the right to reasonable accommodations for menopause-related conditions. Effective January 1, 2027, except that the changes to the Illinois Insurance Code take effect January 1, 2028.
