Illinois General Assembly - Illinois Compiled Statutes

Updating the database of the Illinois Compiled Statutes (ILCS) is an ongoing process. Recent laws may not yet be included in the ILCS database, but they are found on this site as Public Acts soon after they become law. For information concerning the relationship between statutes and Public Acts, refer to the Guide.

Because the statute database is maintained primarily for legislative drafting purposes, statutory changes are sometimes included in the statute database before they take effect. If the source note at the end of a Section of the statutes includes a Public Act that has not yet taken effect, the version of the law that is currently in effect may have already been removed from the database and you should refer to that Public Act to see the changes made to the current law.

Notwithstanding any other provision of this Act, the eligibility of an
annuitant or TRS benefit recipient to participate in the program of health
benefits established under Section 6 or 6.5 of this Act is suspended for any
period during which he or she is covered under a plan of group health benefits
for active teachers due to eligible employment as defined in Section 16-150.1
of the Illinois Pension Code.  Upon termination of that coverage, eligibility
to participate in the program of health benefits established under Section 6 or
6.5 shall be immediately restored, without any interruption or delay in
coverage or limitation as to pre-existing medical condition.
