HB4957

Illinois HB4957 limits health insurance premiums for hospital employees to 10% of the total cost.

Illinois HB4957 amends the Hospital Licensing Act to ensure hospitals cannot charge employees more than 10% of the total health insurance premium cost. This applies to all employees of large hospitals and those performing contracted or subcontracted work primarily on hospital premises. Any agreement exceeding this limit is deemed invalid and unenforceable. Hospitals violating this provision must pay a civil penalty of $500 per affected employee to the Department of Public Health.
