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 5/141b

(215 ILCS 5/141b)
Sec. 141b. Third party access to files.

Any contract with a third party ("administrator") to provide claim services for a property and casualty company must contain the following provisions:

(1) Upon liquidation or rehabilitation of the

insurer, the files and any data related thereto become the sole property of the estate. The administrator shall have reasonable access and right to copy files at the administrator's expense.

(2) In the event electronic files are used, the

administrator must keep all data in such a format that it is easily separated from other data maintained by the administrator and timely transferred to the liquidator upon the entry of an order or liquidation. "Timely transferred", in this context, means the claim file data must be transferred to the liquidator within 10 days after the entry of an order of liquidation.

The provisions of this Section shall apply to all contracts entered into  after the effective date of this amendatory Act of the 100th General Assembly, and any existing contracts shall have one year to come into compliance with this Section.
