* From a press release…
(T)he Governor today issued an executive order to ensure that the state fully complies with the landmark pregnancy discrimination law he proposed, passed and signed into law last year. The order requires state agencies to conduct a comprehensive review within 30 days to determine if their internal policies fully comply with the new law. If any problems are found, the policies are required to be rewritten within 60 days.
The Governor also issued an executive order to ensure that the state continues enrollment in the federally-facilitated Health Insurance Marketplace and Medicaid expansion under the Affordable Care Act. The order requires data be issued weekly to a public website to reflect progress by the state in the enrollment process. The order also requires the HFS to distribute a robust plan to promote enrollment in the ACA and Medicaid coverage, especially focusing on people of low-income and people with disabilities.
The pregnancy discrimination exec order is here.
The ACA order is here.
…Adding… Subscribers know more about this, but Rauner is planning to issue his own executive orders on Monday…
On Friday, Rauner said after taking office he would issue a number of executive orders “starting right away around ethics, around conflicts of interests, around efficiency in government and cost cutting.”
To that end, aides said Rauner created a “blind trust” to avoid conflicts of interests involving his many investments. Rauner, the wealthiest person to hold the office of governor, has said he is worth more than $500 million but is not a billionaire.
The trust gave Roundtable Investment Partners exclusive power of attorney to act for Rauner and his wife, Diana, in investment decisions. Rauner is an investor in Roundtable and its employees donated $58,300 to his campaign, state records showed.
Rauner spokesman Mike Schrimpf said Rauner was “a passive investor with a nominal interest” in Roundtable with no involvement in its day-to-day operations. Schrimpf said he could not further describe the size of Rauner’s investment in the company.
