1 AN ACT concerning employment.
2 Be it enacted by the People of the State of Illinois,
3 represented in the General Assembly:
4 Section 5. The Employee Benefit Contribution Act is
5 amended by changing Section 2 as follows:
6 (820 ILCS 160/2) (from Ch. 48, par. 39x)
7 Sec. 2. Any employer who has agreed to make payments to
8 an employee health insurance plan shall notify its employees
9 of any failure to make such payments where such failure
10 shall may result in the total loss of insurance coverage so
11 as to provide its employees a reasonable opportunity to
12 replace such coverage at the time the employee health
13 insurance plan terminates. The employer must provide written
14 notification directly to each of its employees who are
15 covered under the plan. Notification may be made by posting
16 in a conspicuous place in the place of employment. Any
17 employer who fails to provide timely notice of a prospective
18 termination of a health insurance plan, which failure results
19 in the deprivation of the opportunity to replace such
20 coverage and which further results in damages to one or more
21 employees arising from the loss of coverage, shall be guilty
22 of a Class B misdemeanor. The Department of Insurance has
23 authority to inspect places of employment for the purpose of
24 assuring the employer's compliance with the notification
25 requirements of this Section.
