Illinois General Assembly On October 29, 1997, the Illinois House of Representatives Children and Youth Committee, held a public hearing to hear testimony concerning Title XXI. The Departments of Public Aid and Human Services participated both in presenting testimony and witnessing the testimony of other interested parties.
A special legislative task force has been formed to consider Title XXI program options. The Children’s Health Insurance Task Force includes four members of the Senate, four members of the Illinois House of Representatives, representatives of the Office of the Governor, advocates and members of the medical community. At the task force’s first meeting on December 17, 2997, the details of this plan were discussed. The task force will continue to meet to discuss options for further expansion of child health insurance under Title XXI.
