Short description: 
INS PRODUCER OWN INSURED DATA                                              

Synopsis of Bill as introduced:
        Amends the Illinois Insurance Code. Provides  that  policyholders      
   and  their  insurance  producers have exclusive rights to confidential      
   information of an insured relating to the insured  and  the  insured's      
   insurance policy. Prohibits use of that information, commonly known as      
   "expirations",  by  persons  other  than  the  insurance  producer for      
   purposes of marketing insurance or other products. Does not  apply  to      
   life and health insurance or when the producer acts under an exclusive      
   contract  with  the insurer or when the insured makes written requests      
   for additional  insurance  sales.  Provides  for  enforcement  by  the      
   Director of Insurance. Effective immediately.                               
        HOUSE AMENDMENT NO. 1.                                                 
        Provides that the expirations are owned by  the  registered  firm      
   rather  than  the  insurance producer.  Provides an exception from the      
   ownership of expirations rules  for  situations  where  producers  act      
   primarily for one company or affiliated group of companies and defines      
   the  term "primarily". Deletes provision granting producers a right to      
   claim for lost commissions and any other relief for violations.             
          FISCAL NOTE, H-AM 1 (Department of Insurance)                        
          HB 800 may create a minimal fiscal impact to the Department.         
        HOUSE AMENDMENT NO. 2.                                                 
        Replaces  everything  after  the  enacting  clause.  Amends   the      
   Illinois   Insurance   Code.   Provides  that  policyholders  and  the      
   registered  firms  who  sold  the  policy  have  exclusive  rights  to      
   confidential information of an insured relating to the insured and the      
   insured's  insurance  policy.  Prohibits  use  of  that   information,      
   commonly known as "expirations", by persons or entities other than the      
   registered firm for purposes of marketing insurance or other products.      
   Provides  exceptions for banks and other financial institutions.  Does      
   not apply to life and health  insurance  or  when  the  producer  acts      
   primarily  for one company or an affiliated group of companies or when      
   the insured makes written requests  for  additional  insurance  sales.      
   Deletes  provision  granting  producers  a  right  to  claim  for lost      
   commissions and other relief for violations.  Effective immediately.        
        SENATE AMENDMENT NO. 1.                                                
          Deletes reference to:                                                
          215 ILCS 5/507.2 new                                                 
          Adds reference to:                                                   
          215 ILCS 5/370u new                                                  
        Replaces  everything  after  the  enacting  clause.   Amends  the      
   Illinois Insurance Code.  Provides that all noninstitutional providers      
   and other providers shall be permitted to compensate, on the basis  of      
   a  percentage  of  the providers' fees or collections, any independent      
   contractor for non-health care services provided  in  connection  with      
   the  management, marketing, administration, formation, and maintenance      
   of provider networks offered or available to any person. Effective  on      
   June 1, 2003.
