Amends the Department of Public Health Powers and Duties Law of the Civil Administrative Code of Illinois. Requires the Department of Public Health to establish women's health clinics throughout the State to provide affordable health care for women. Requires the services provided at the women's health clinic to be offered at an affordable price and to include specified services, including women's health examinations, pregnancy confirmation, prenatal care, labor and delivery services, postpartum care, family planning examinations and birth control services, and care for sexually transmitted diseases and infections. Fiscal Note (Dept. of Public Health) The legislation does not specify the total number or geographic locations of women's health clinics so there is no way to calculate the costs for the State to establish facilities directed to provide the following services: annual women's health examinations, pregnancy confirmation services, prenatal care, labor and delivery provided by an obstetrician, postpartum care and support, family planning services, sexually transmitted disease care, doulas and childbirth consultants and childbirth education and breastfeeding care. The best example to look at is federally qualified health centers (FQHCs), where all of this care is already provided, except for labor and delivery (which needs to be done at a hospital due to the need for surgical/anesthesia services). According to the federal government, the costs of FQHCs in Illinois in 2017 were $968,572,482. This figure does not include the costs for construction or obtaining building spaces, or any of the costs for the more costly care involving child birth, including surgical care, infant resuscitation teams, etc. Land Conveyance Appraisal Note (Dept. of Transportation) No land conveyances are included in this bill; therefore, there are no appraisals to be filed.

Fiscal Note, House Floor Amendment No. 5 (State Board of Elections) It is our opinion the contents of Senate Bill 1863, as amended by House Floor Amendment #5 would have an impact on the fiscal operations of the State Board of Elections.

These costs include, but are not limited to: (1) Software programming costs incurred by the local election authorities to meet these requirements; (2).Expanded VBM costs: additional envelopes, certification envelopes, return envelopes, postage, additional costs associated with third-party vendors performing some or all of these services vs. election authorities performing them in-house, etc; (3) Mail processing equipment: sorting, folding, processing, etc; (4) Tabulation equipment: additional tabulators and/or higher volume tabulators.; (5) Additional temporary staffing and/or staffing overtime costs for pre- and post-election activities directly attributable to expanded VBM (i.e. - teams of 3 election judges are more than would be typically required for conducting the signature verification process, etc.); (6) Costs associated with personal protection equipment and sanitation supplies; (7) Purchase and installation of ballot drop boxes; (8) Increase costs associated with securing and staffing Election Day vote centers.
