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 5/139

(215 ILCS 5/139) (from Ch. 73, par. 751)

Sec. 139. Penalties for late or false annual statement.

(1) Any company failing, without just cause, to file its financial
statements as required in this Code shall be required, after notice and
hearing, to pay a penalty of up to $1,000 for each day's delay, to
be recovered by
the Director of Insurance of the State of Illinois using the notice and hearing procedure in subsection (2) of Section 403A of this Code, and the penalty so
recovered shall be paid into the General Revenue fund of the State of
Illinois. The Director may reduce the penalty if the company demonstrates
to the Director that the imposition of the penalty would constitute a financial
hardship to the company.

Any statement which is not materially complete when filed
shall
not be considered to have been properly filed until those deficiencies
which make the filing incomplete have been corrected and filed.

(2) Any director, officer, agent or employee of any company, who
subscribes to, makes or concurs in making or publishing any annual or other
statement required by law, knowing the same to contain any material
statement which is false shall, after notice and hearing, be guilty of a
business offense and shall be fined not more than $50,000.

The penalty shall be paid into the General Revenue fund of the State of
Illinois.
