Notice of Withdrawal of Proposed Amendments to the Illinois Insurance Department Consumer Complaints Rule

The Illinois Department of Insurance (“DOI”) has issued a notice of withdrawal of its proposed amendments to the Illinois Insurance Department Consumer Complaints Rule (50 Ill. Adm. Code 926) that were described in our January 9, 2017 blog post.

The stated reason for withdrawal is that the “[DOI] is considering statutory changes to clarify its authority to keep certain documents and information confidential.  Such changes will render much of the proposed amendment redundant.”  The proposed amendment and notice of withdrawal have been published in the Illinois Register.
