SB2770

LOC FIRST RESPONDER INSURANCE

Final Passage·5/21/26

Illinois SB2770 mandates health insurance coverage for county employees, including first responders, without cost-sharing requirements.

Illinois SB2770 requires county health insurance plans to cover certain services without imposing deductibles, coinsurance, copayments, or other cost-sharing requirements. This includes mental health counseling for first responders, joint mental health therapy services for sheriff's office members, and specific mammograms and breast reconstruction surgeries. County medical examiners and coroners are also classified as first responders for these coverage provisions. The bill emphasizes that these requirements are state-mandated and limit home rule county powers.
