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.

625 ILCS 5/7-502

(625 ILCS 5/7-502) (from Ch. 95 1/2, par. 7-502)

Sec. 7-502. Self-insurers.

Any person in whose name more than 25 motor vehicles are registered may
qualify as a self-insurer by obtaining a certificate of self-insurance
issued by the Director of the Department of Insurance as provided in this Section.

The Director may, in his discretion, upon the application of
such a person, issue a certificate of self-insurance when he is satisfied
that such person is possessed and will continue to be possessed of ability
to pay judgment obtained against such person.

Upon not less than 5 days' notice, and a hearing pursuant to such
notice, the Director may upon reasonable grounds cancel a
certificate of self-insurance. Failure to pay any judgment against any
person covered by such certificate of self-insurance and arising out of any
crash in which a motor vehicle covered by such certificate of
self-insurance has been involved within 30 days after such judgment shall
have become final shall constitute a reasonable ground for the cancellation
of a certificate of self-insurance.
