Repeals the provision regarding infertility coverage on July 1, 2026. Amends the Illinois Insurance Code. Provides that no group policy of accident and health insurance providing coverage for more than 25 employees that provides pregnancy related benefits may be issued, amended, delivered, or renewed in this State after January 1, 2016 through December 31, 2025 unless the policy contains coverage for the diagnosis and treatment of infertility.

Amends the Counties Code, the Illinois Municipal Code, the School Code, the Limited Health Service Organization Act, the Voluntary Health Services Plans Act, and the Illinois Public Aid Code to require plans under those Acts to comply with provisions of the Illinois Insurance Code requiring coverage for the diagnosis and treatment of infertility. Adds a January 1, 2026 effective date.
