Senate Illinois State Senator Donne Trotter promotes fiscal responsibility
SPRINGFIELD – Illinois State Senator Donne Trotter (D-Chicago) today passed a measure through the Senate that limits the ability of the Department of Healthcare and Family Services (DHFS) to carry unpaid medical bills from the previous fiscal year into the next fiscal year.
Senate Bill 3707 allows a four-month lapse period for all medical bills, instead of two months, and phases down the aggregate amount of bills the department may carry to the next fiscal year.
