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.

Sec. 5.

Certificate of authority required.

It is unlawful for any company
to engage or to continue in the business of title insurance without first procuring from the Secretary a certificate of
authority stating that the
						
company has complied with the requirements of
Section 4 of this Act.  An insurer that transacts any class of insurance other than title insurance anywhere in the United States is not eligible for the issuance of a certificate of authority to transact title insurance in this State nor for a renewal of a certificate of authority.
