Synopsis As Introduced
Amends the Illinois Insurance Code. Provides that in the event of a nonrenewal if a nonrenewal notice is not sent to the insured at least 60 days (now at least 31, but less than 60) before the expiration of the policy, the policy shall be renewed for an additional year on the same terms and conditions. Current law provides that if the notice requirements are not met the policy must be renewed for 60 days or until similar insurance is obtained by the insured. Provides that if a company notifies an insured of a renewal premium increase of 30% or more, the company shall extend the policy to allow 60 days notice of exact premium. Effective immediately.

Senate Committee Amendment No. 1
Provides that if an insurer intends to increase premiums by 30% or more, the insurer must extend the policy to allow 60 days notice to the insured and provide an actual premium quotation and disclosure of any changes in coverage or deductibles. Eliminates the requirement that proof of mailing must be maintained on a U.S. Post Office form or a form acceptable to a commercial mail delivery service or the U.S. Post Office.

Senate Floor Amendment No. 3
Reinstates proof of mailing requirements with respect to notices of intent not to renew.

Senate Floor Amendment No. 4
Replaces the title and everything after the enacting clause. Reinserts the bill as amended by House Amendment No. 1 but provides that proof of mailing for certain purposes may be proved by an affidavit of the insurer as to usual and customary business practices of mailing a notice or in a manner consistent with Illinois Supreme Court Rule 236. Effective immediately.
