Synopsis As Introduced
Amends the Illinois Insurance Code. Provides that notice to a party, and any other document that is required under applicable law in a premium finance agreement or that serves as evidence of a premium finance agreement, may be stored, presented, and delivered by electronic means. Provides that delivery of a notice or document by electronic means shall be considered equivalent to any delivery method required under applicable law, including delivery by first class mail; first class mail, postage prepaid; certified mail; or registered mail. Provides requirements to allow premium finance companies to deliver documents by electronic means. Provides that the legal effectiveness, validity, or enforceability of any premium finance agreement executed by a party may not be denied solely because the agreement was delivered by electronic means if the premium finance company has obtained the electronic consent or confirmation of consent of the party in accordance with the Act. Contains provisions to withdraw consent for electronic delivery of documents. Makes other changes. Effective January 1, 2018.

House Committee Amendment No. 1
Includes in the definition of "party" the producer of record. Provides that the producer of record (rather than a premium finance company) shall not be subject to civil liability for any harm or injury that occurs as a result of a party's election to receive any notices or document by electronic means or by a premium finance company's failure to deliver a notice or document by electronic means. Makes a technical correction.

House Floor Amendment No. 2
Provides that a producer of record may be subject to civil liability for any harm or injury that occurs as a result of a party's election to receive certain documents by electronic means or by a premium finance company's failure to deliver certain documents by electronic means if the harm or injury is caused by the willful and wanton misconduct of the producer of record.

Senate Committee Amendment No. 1
Makes changes to the delivery methods that shall be considered equivalent to delivery by electronic means. Removes language providing that a notice or document that requires verification or acknowledgment of receipt may be delivered by electronic means only if the method used provides for verification or acknowledgment of receipt. Makes other changes.
