Be it enacted by the People of the State of Illinois,
represented in the General Assembly:
Section 5. The Employee Benefit Contribution Act is amended
by changing Section 2 as follows:
(820 ILCS 160/2) (from Ch. 48, par. 39x)
Sec. 2. Any employer who has agreed to make payments to an
employee health insurance plan shall notify its employees of
any failure to make such payments where such failure shall
result in the the total loss of insurance coverage so as to
provide its employees a reasonable opportunity to replace such
coverage at the time the employee health insurance plan
terminates. The employer must provide written notification
directly to each of its employees who are covered under the
plan. Any employer who fails to provide timely notice of a
prospective termination of a health insurance plan, which
failure results in the deprivation of the opportunity to
replace such coverage and which further results in damages to
one or more employees arising from the loss of coverage, shall
be guilty of a Class B misdemeanor.
