(215 ILCS 5/221.5) (from Ch. 73, par. 833.5)

Sec. 221.5. Priority of preferred claims.

In any delinquency proceeding against a domiciliary insurer of this state, claims owing to residents of ancillary reciprocal states shall be deemed preferred claims if, and only if, like claims are preferred under the laws of this state. All such claims whether owing to residents or non-residents shall be given equal priority of payment from general assets. No law of an ancillary state providing for preferred claims against the general assets of insurers shall be recognized as against the assets of delinquent domiciliary insurers of this state regardless of where such assets may be located.

In any delinquency proceeding against an insurer domiciliary in a reciprocal state, claims owing to residents of this state shall be preferred if, and only if, like claims are preferred by the laws of such other state.
