IL SB3045

Department of Healthcare and Family Services must conduct a statewide one-year pilot program studying the prevalence of cholestatic liver disorders among women ages 35-64 who receive medical assistance.

Data collection includes key demographics, genetic predispositions, pre-existing conditions (autoimmune diseases, metabolic disorders), and lifestyle factors that increase risk of developing these liver disorders.

Program will track high-risk participants who do not follow through with referrals, treatment recommendations, or who avoid follow-up care.

Final report must include recommendations for increasing awareness through screenings, genetic testing, and collaboration with patient advocacy groups, plus analysis of funding strategies for expanded screening.

Report due to the General Assembly by December 31, 2028; effective immediately upon becoming law.
