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.

(215 ILCS 5/355) (from Ch. 73, par. 967)

Sec. 355.

Accident
and health policies-Provisions.)
No policy of insurance against loss or damage from the sickness, or from
the bodily injury or death of the insured by accident shall be issued or
delivered to any person in this State until a copy of the form thereof and
of the classification of risks and the premium rates pertaining thereto
have been filed with the Director; nor shall it be so issued or delivered
until the Director shall have approved such policy pursuant to the provisions
of Section 143.  If the Director
disapproves the policy form he shall make a written decision stating the
respects in which such form does not comply with the requirements of law
and shall deliver a copy thereof to the company and it shall be unlawful
thereafter for any such company to issue any policy in such form.
