(215 ILCS 5/522) (from Ch. 73, par. 1065.69)
Sec. 522.
Purpose.
This article is to make basic property insurance increasingly available
to the citizens of this State, and to deter the insurance industry from
geographically redlining urban areas of this State by requiring the restructuring
of the Industry Placement Facility and administering the FAIR Plan (Fair
Access to Insurance Requirements) to deliver residential property insurance
to all citizens of this State on a reasonable access and marketing basis
by offering homeowners insurance, by requiring immediate binding of eligible
risks, by making use of premium installment payment plans, and by further
establishing reasonable service standards in its plan of operation subject
to the approval and review of the Director; and, to establish a central
operation facility for the equitable distribution of losses and expenses
in the writing of the basic property insurance and homeowners insurance in this State.
