Synopsis As Introduced
Amends the Illinois Securities Law of 1953. Includes certain agents of title insurance companies and registered broker-dealers and registered investment advisors within the scope of the term "qualified escrowee".

Provides that actions authorized pursuant to an interpretive letter issued by the Securities and Exchange Commission are permitted.

Senate Floor Amendment No. 2
Provides that in addition to other requirements, a qualified escrowee that is an agent or affiliate of a title insurance company must be one approved by such title insurance company to act under the Illinois Securities Law of 1953 and pursuant to the terms and requirements of the Title Insurance Act.
