Illinois General Assembly - Illinois Compiled Statutes

Updating the database of the Illinois Compiled Statutes (ILCS) is an ongoing process. Recent laws may not yet be included in the ILCS database, but they are found on this site as Public Acts soon after they become law. For information concerning the relationship between statutes and Public Acts, refer to the Guide.

Because the statute database is maintained primarily for legislative drafting purposes, statutory changes are sometimes included in the statute database before they take effect. If the source note at the end of a Section of the statutes includes a Public Act that has not yet taken effect, the version of the law that is currently in effect may have already been removed from the database and you should refer to that Public Act to see the changes made to the current law.

Sec. 1412.

Solicitations to loan applicants.

(a) A financial institution that
requires a customer to obtain insurance in connection with a loan or extension
of credit and that offers that insurance either directly or through an
affiliate shall clearly disclose to the customer in writing at the time of
written application or at closing if no written application is obtained
in a form substantially similar to the following:

"You may obtain insurance required in connection with

your loan or extension of credit from any insurance agent, broker, or firm that sells such insurance.  Your choice of insurance provider will not affect our credit decision or your credit terms.".

(b) This Section shall not apply when a financial institution is contacting
a customer in the course of direct or mass marketing to a group of persons in a
manner that bears no relation to the customer's loan application or credit
decision.
