Short description: 
INS POLICE-FIRE CONTINUATION                                               

Synopsis of Bill as introduced:
        Amends the Counties Code, Illinois Municipal Code,  and  Illinois      
   Insurance  Code.   Provides that a municipality or county must pay the      
   full amount of the cost of health care benefits or insurance on behalf      
   of surviving spouses and dependents of firefighters, police  officers,      
   and  deputies  whose  death  results  from  the performance of a duty.      
   Amends the  State  Mandates  Act  to  require  implementation  without      
   reimbursement  with respect to the continuation of insurance benefits.      
   Effective immediately.                                                      
          STATE MANDATES FISCAL NOTE                                           
          HB 1421 creates a "personnel mandate" which normally requires a      
          100% reimbursement; however the State Mandates Act is amended        
          to provide an exemption from reimbursement liability.                
          HOME RULE NOTE                                                       
          HB 1421 preempts home rule authority.                                
          FISCAL NOTE (Dpt. of Insurance)                                      
          HB 1421 will have no fiscal impact on the Department.
