    AN ACT concerning insurance.
 
    Be it enacted by the People of the State of Illinois,
represented in the General Assembly:
 
    Section 5. The Illinois Insurance Code is amended by adding
Section 188.2 as follows:
 
    (215 ILCS 5/188.2 new)
    Sec. 188.2. Grounds for and provisions applicable to
rehabilitation or liquidation of a domestic company that is a
covered financial company under the federal Dodd-Frank Wall
Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act.
    (a) The provisions of this Section apply in accordance with
Title II of the federal Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and
Consumer Protection Act, P.L. 111-203, with respect to an
insurance company that is a covered financial company, as that
term is defined under 12 U.S.C. 5381.
    (b) The Director may file a complaint for an order of
rehabilitation or liquidation pursuant to Section 188 of this
Code on any of the following grounds:
        (1) upon a determination and notification given by the
    Secretary of the Treasury of the United States (in
    consultation with the President of the United States) that
    the insurance company is a financial company satisfying the
    requirements of 12 U.S.C. 5383(b), and the board of
    directors (or body performing similar functions) of the
    insurance company acquiesces or consents to the
    appointment of a receiver pursuant to 12 U.S.C.
    5382(a)(l)(A)(i), with such consent to be considered as
    consent to an order of rehabilitation or liquidation;
        (2) upon an order of the United States District Court
    for the District of Columbia under 12 U.S.C.
    5382(a)(l)(A)(iv)(I) granting the petition of the
    Secretary of the Treasury of the United States concerning
    the insurance company under 12 U.S.C. 5382(a)(l)(A)(i); or
        (3) a petition by the Secretary of the Treasury of the
    United States concerning the insurance company is granted
    by operation of law under 12 U.S.C. 5382(a)(l)(A)(v).
    (c) Notwithstanding any other provision in this Article,
this Code, or any other law, after notice to the insurance
company, the receivership court may grant an order on the
complaint for rehabilitation or liquidation within 24 hours
after the filing of a complaint pursuant to this Section.
    (d) If the receivership court does not make a determination
on a complaint for rehabilitation or liquidation filed by the
Director pursuant to this Section within 24 hours after its
filing, then it shall be deemed granted by operation of law
upon the expiration of the 24-hour period. At the time that an
order is deemed granted under this Section, the provisions of
Article XIII of this Code shall be deemed to be in effect, and
the Director shall be deemed to be affirmed as receiver and
have all of the applicable powers provided by this Code,
regardless of whether an order has been entered. The
receivership court shall expeditiously enter an order of
rehabilitation or liquidation that:
        (1) is effective as of the date that it is deemed
    granted by operation of law; and
        (2) conforms to the provisions for rehabilitation or
    liquidation contained in Article XIII of this Code, as
    applicable.
    (e) Any order of rehabilitation or liquidation made
pursuant to this Section shall not be subject to any stay or
injunction pending appeal.
    (f) Nothing in this Section shall be construed to supersede
or impair any other power or authority of the Director or the
court under this Article or Code.
 
    Section 99. Effective date. This Act takes effect upon
becoming law.
