Illinois Compiled Statutes
Information maintained by the Legislative Reference Bureau 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.

rules prescribed by
the Director must be in writing and be based upon facts
ascertained from the books, records,
documents, papers, and other evidence obtained by the
examiners or from sworn or affirmed
testimony of or written affidavits from the person's

accounts receivable with the balance payable to an insurance
producer within a specified
period of 90 days or less, where the balance is not fully paid within

not exceeding 1.5% per month may be added by the insurance producer
to the unpaid balance to induce
payment of the premium.
(d) If an insurance producer or surplus line producer knowingly
misappropriates or converts to his or her own use or illegally withholds
fiduciary moneys in the amount of $150 or less, he or she is guilty of a Class
A misdemeanor for a first offense and a Class 4 felony for subsequent
conversions, misappropriations, and withholdings of that nature. If an
insurance producer or surplus line producer knowingly misappropriates or
converts to his or her own use or illegally withholds premiums in excess of

obtain a valid and current license under this Article constitutes a public
nuisance. The Director
may report the failure to obtain a license to the Attorney General, whose duty
it is to apply
forthwith by complaint on relation of the Director in the name of the people of
the State of
Illinois, for injunctive relief in the circuit court of the county where the
failure to obtain a license
occurred to enjoin that person from acting in any capacity that requires such a license. Upon the
filing of a verified
petition in the court, the court, if satisfied by affidavit or otherwise that
the person is required to
have a license and does not
have a valid and current license, may enter a temporary restraining
order without notice or bond,
enjoining the defendant from acting in any capacity that requires such
license. A copy of the verified
complaint shall be served upon the defendant, and the
proceedings shall thereafter be
conducted as in other civil cases. If it is established that the
defendant has been, or is engaged
in any unlawful practice, the court may enter an order or
judgment perpetually enjoining the
defendant from further engaging in such practice. In all
proceedings brought under this Section,
the court, in its discretion, may apportion the costs
among the parties, including the cost of
filing the complaint, service of process, witness fees and
expenses, court reporter charges, and
reasonable attorney fees. In case of the violation of any
injunctive order entered under the provisions of this Section,
the court may summarily try and
punish the offender for contempt of court. The injunctive relief
available
under this Section is in
addition to and not in lieu of all other penalties and remedies provided in
this Code.
