Grant supports HB5393, updating limited health service organization standards

Rep. Amy L. Grant (R-47th) cast a Yes vote for HB5393, which focuses on updating definitions and rules for limited health service organizations, during the 104th General Assembly on May 31, 2026, according to the Illinois House. The measure cleared the House with a 116-0 vote.

The official synopsis of the bill reads: "LIMITED HEALTH SERVICE ORGS."

The following explanation is based on the actual language of the bill and may use interpretation to clarify specific elements.

HB5393 updates how limited health service organizations, or LHSOs, are defined and governed, particularly those with point-of-service contracts. It provides more detailed definitions for in-plan and out-of-plan services, updates terminology for limited health care plans, and eliminates the mandate for a $2,500 separate annual maximum benefit for out-of-plan care. The legislation also amends enforcement of spending limits: if an LHSO spends more than 20% of its total expenditures on out-of-plan services in a single quarter and meets established capital and surplus criteria for life, accident and health insurers, certain enforcement penalties no longer apply.

The official record for HB5393 states: 'Senate Floor Amendment No. 1 House Concurs.'

Grant received a BS from the University of Pittsburgh in 1980.

Grant, affiliated with the Republican Party, won her seat in the Illinois State House in 2023 for the 47th District, succeeding Deanne Mazzochi.

Legislation in Illinois follows a multi-step process that starts with a bill’s introduction in either legislative chamber, proceeds through committee hearings and floor action in both the House and Senate, and ends with the governor's approval or veto. The General Assembly meets on a biennial basis; although thousands of bills are introduced each session, only a portion ultimately become law.
