Synopsis As Introduced
Amends the Unclaimed Life Insurance Benefits Act. Provides that "policy" includes a policy that has lapsed or been terminated. Requires insurers to, at no later than the date of policy delivery or the establishment of an account, and upon any change of insured or beneficiary, request information sufficient to ensure that all benefits or proceeds are distributed to the appropriate persons upon the death of the insured. Allows insurers to contact insureds in certain circumstances for the information. Provides that the Act applies to policies, annuity contracts, and retained asset accounts in force at any time on or after January 1, 1996 (rather than on or after the effective date of the Act). Provides that the Act does not apply to a lapsed or terminated policy with no benefits payable that was compared against the Death Master File within the 18 months following the date of the lapse or termination of the applicable policy. Amends the Vital Records Act. Provides that any information contained in the vital records shall be made available at no cost to the State Treasurer for purposes related to the Uniform Disposition of Unclaimed Property Act. Amends the Uniform Disposition of Unclaimed Property Act. Removes provisions concerning certain fees and charges for unclaimed property. Provides that no person or company shall be entitled to a fee for discovering presumptively unclaimed property during the period beginning on the date the property was presumed abandoned and ending 24 months after the payment or delivery of the property to the State Treasurer (rather than until it has been in the custody of the State Treasurer for at least 24 months). Makes other changes.

Fiscal Note (Department of Insurance)

As a result of the requirements brought about by this legislation, the Department of Insurance would need to add, at minimum, one (1) full time position to fulfill complaint unit duties. The proposed legislation would substantially increase the amount of policies eligible for review by carriers (and thereby eligible for consumer inquiries). This position would be housed within the Department's Life and Annuities Products Division at a total annual cost to the Department of Insurance of approximately $100,000 for both personal services and related expenses and lower line item costs. The projected cost associated with these responsibilities is expected to be covered by Other, Dedicated State Funding.

	Balanced Budget Note (Office of Management and Budget)
	The Balanced Budget Note Act does not apply to this bill as it is not a supplemental appropriation that increases or decreases appropriations. Under the Act, a balanced budget note must be prepared only for bills that change a general funds appropriation for the fiscal year in which the new bill is enacted.

	Correctional Note (Dept of Corrections)
	This legislation has no fiscal or population impact on the Department of Corrections.

	Housing Affordability Impact Note (Housing Development Authority)
	This bill will have no effect on the cost of constructing, purchasing, owning, or selling a single-family residence.

	Judicial Note (Admin Office of the Illinois Courts)
	This legislation would neither increase nor decrease the number of judges needed in the State.

	Pension Note (Government Forecasting & Accountability)
	HB 302 will not impact any public pension fund or retirement system in Illinois.

	State Debt Impact Note (Government Forecasting & Accountability)
	HB 302 would not change the amount of authorization for any type of State-issued or State-supported bond, and, therefore, would not affect the level of State indebtedness.

	Home Rule Note (Dept. of Commerce & Economic Opportunity)
	This bill does not pre-empt home rule authority.

	State Mandates Fiscal Note (Dept. of Commerce & Economic Opportunity)
	This bill does not create a State mandate.

Senate Committee Amendment No. 1

	Adds reference to:
	215 ILCS 185/30

Replaces everything after the enacting clause. Reinserts the provisions of the engrossed bill with the following changes: In provisions amending the Unclaimed Life Insurance Benefits Act, provides that an insurer shall initially perform a comparison of certain policies, contracts, and accounts in force on or after January 1, 2012 by using the full Death Master File (rather than all certain policies, contracts, and accounts). Provides that an insurer required to perform a comparison of certain policies, contracts, and accounts in force on or after January 1, 2000 shall perform a comparison of certain policies, contracts, and accounts in force between January 1, 2000 and December 31, 2016 on or before December 31, 2018 by using the full Death Master File. Removes language requiring an insurer to request information sufficient to ensure that all benefits or proceeds are distributed to the appropriate persons upon the death of the insured. Further amends the Unclaimed Life Insurance Benefits Act. Requires the Department of Insurance to define "electronic searchable files" in rules. Removes provisions allowing the Department to limit an insurer's Death Master File comparisons to the insurer's electronic searchable files or approve a plan and timeline for conversion of the insurer's files to searchable electronic files upon a demonstration of hardship by the insurer. Provides that the Act applies to policies, annuity contracts, and retained asset accounts in force at any time on or after January 1, 2012 (rather than on or after January 1, 1996). Provides that for an insurer that has entered into a written agreement with the State Treasurer on or before December 31, 2018 to resolve an unclaimed property examination, the provisions of the Act apply to certain policies, contracts, and accounts in force or after January 1, 2017. Provides that the provisions of the Act apply to certain policies, contracts and accounts in force at any time on or after January 1, 2000 to the extent that an insurer has electronic searchable files concerning those policies, contracts, and accounts.

Governor Amendatory Veto Message
Recommends removing the following provisions added to the Unclaimed Life Insurance Benefits Act: (i) that an insurer required to perform a comparison of electronic searchable files concerning its insureds', annuitants', and retained asset account holders' in-force policies, annuity contracts, and retained asset accounts in force on or after January 1, 2000 shall perform a comparison of policies, annuity contracts, and retained asset accounts in force between January 1, 2000 and December 31, 2016 on or before December 31, 2018 by using the full Death Master File; (ii) that the Department of Insurance shall, by rule, define "electronic searchable files"; and (iii) that the Act applies to policies, annuity contracts, and retained asset accounts in force at any time on or after January 1, 2000 to the extent that an insurer has electronic searchable files concerning such policies, annuity contracts, and retained asset accounts. Recommends removing a provision under the Uniform Disposition of Unclaimed Property Act that permits the Office of the State Treasurer to enter into contracts with persons to examine holders located outside the State under which the Office of the State Treasurer agrees to pay such persons based upon a percentage of the property recovered by the State.
