On October 10, 2025, the Illinois attorney general, on behalf of the Illinois insurance director, filed a complaint in the Circuit Court of Cook County, Chancery Division, Case No. 2025 CH 10454, against a large group of Illinois domestic property and casualty insurers (insurer), alleging that the insurer failed to comply with Illinois insurance laws by refusing to provide information about the homeowners policies the insurer has issued nationwide. A copy of the complaint is found here. In particular, the insurance director has asserted that the insurer’s refusal to provide the information on a nationwide basis in the context of a targeted financial examination violates the following insurance examination statutes (collectively, the examination laws): (a) Conduct of examinations; appointment of examiners (215 ILCS 5/132.4(b)); (b) Market conduct examinations (215 ILCS 5/132(d)); (c) Insurance Holding Company System Act – Examination of registered insurers (215 ILCS 5/131.21(1.5)); and Unfair Methods of Competition and Unfair and Deceptive Acts and Practices – Examinations and investigations (215 ILCS 5/425). The alleged violations arise under a targeted financial exam warrant issued to the insurer in November 2024 (warrant). The warrant references the insurance director’s statutory authority under the examination laws, as well as the insurance director’s general powers and enforcement authority. The court has scheduled a hearing for December 15, 2025. The insurance director is seeking declaratory relief from the court that would require the insurer to provide the nationwide information requested.Read More Can Illinois Insurance Regulators Request Nationwide Homeowners Policy Information Under Examination Laws?
