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.

(b) If at the time of the motor vehicle crash, an owner or
driver is covered by a motor vehicle liability policy or bond meeting the
requirements of this Code, such owner or driver shall be exempt

if the company issuing the policy or bond has failed, and such policy or
bond was not effective at the time of the motor vehicle crash or
any time thereafter, provided, that the owner or driver had no knowledge
of the company's failure prior to the motor vehicle crash, and such
owner or driver has secured within 30 days after learning of such failure
another liability policy or bond meeting the requirements of the Code relating
to future occurrences or motor vehicle crashes.
As used in this paragraph, the words "failed" or "failure"
mean that the company has suspended operations by order of a court.
