Synopsis As Introduced
Amends the Illinois Insurance Code. Makes a technical change in a Section concerning the short title.

House Floor Amendment No. 1
Deletes reference to:
215 ILCS 5/1
Adds reference to:
215 ILCS 5/143.14from Ch. 73, par. 755.14
215 ILCS 5/143.17from Ch. 73, par. 755.17

Replaces everything after the enacting clause. Amends the Illinois Insurance Code. In provisions concerning a notice of cancellation of a policy of insurance, removes the requirement that the notice shall be mailed by the company to the mortgage or lien holder at the last mailing address known by the company to be effective. Provides that notification of the cancellation (rather than a copy of all such notices) shall also be sent to certain parties and the mortgagee or lien holder listed on the policy. In provisions concerning a notice of intention not to renew a policy of insurance, provides that a notification of the intention not to renew (rather than an exact and unaltered copy of such notice) shall be sent to certain parties and any mortgagee or lien holder listed on the policy. Provides that the mortgagee or lien holder, insured's broker, or the agent of record may opt to accept notification electronically. Effective January 1, 2018.

Senate Committee Amendment No. 1
Adds reference to:
215 ILCS 5/143.15
215 ILCS 5/143.17a

Replaces everything after the enacting clause. Reinserts the contents of the engrossed bill with the following changes: Further amends the Illinois Insurance Code. Provides that notification (rather than notification of the cancellation) shall also be sent to certain parties and the mortgagee or lien holder listed on the policy. In provisions concerning mailing of a cancellation notice, removes the requirement that all notices of cancellation of insurance must be mailed at least 30 days prior to the effective date of cancellation to the mortgagee or lien holder, if known. Makes conforming changes. In provisions concerning a notice of intention not to renew a policy of insurance, provides that the nonrenewal shall not become effective until at least 30 days from the proof of mailing date of the notice to the name insured. Provides that a notification (rather than a notification of the intention not to renew) shall be sent to certain parties and any mortgagee or lien holder listed on the policy. Removes the requirement that the notice of nonrenewal and the proof of mailing shall be effected on the same date. Provides that a notice (rather than an exact and unaltered copy of the notice) shall also be sent to the insured's broker or the agent of record. Provides that the notice of intention not to renew to the named insured shall provide a specific explanation of the reasons for the renewal (rather than requiring the company to provide a specific explanation of the reasons for nonrenewal in all notices of intention not to renew any policy of insurance). Provides that notice (rather than an exact and unaltered copy of the notice to the name insured) shall also be sent to the named insured's producer or the producer of record. Provides that notification (rather than an exact and unaltered copy of notices of intention to not renew to the name insured) shall also be sent to the mortgagee or lien holder listed on the policy (rather than the mortgagee or lien holder at the last mailing address known by the company). Effective January 1, 2018.
