The bill’s passage follows years of outcry from patients with asthma and other lung conditions over the cost of inhalers, which can be hundreds of dollars a month.
A child’s inhaler is shown in the nurse’s office at the Barrington Early Learning Center in Barrington on Feb. 15, 2017.
The bill passed the House 87-21 on Wednesday, and now moves to the governor for his signature. When asked whether the governor plans to sign the bill, a spokesperson for Gov. J.B. Pritzer’s office said in an email Thursday that he “will give it a careful review” once it reaches his desk. The bill would not apply to all insurance plans, only those regulated by the state. Many large employers have plans that are regulated by the federal government.
