HB 2203 threatens the current file-and-use system by proposing rate regulation that, if passed, could lead to higher rates for consumers and fewer insurers competing in the state. Rate regulation for health insurance and a bill proposing a state-based health exchange are also under consideration. On the positive side, IIA of IL-supported legislation offering greater protection for consumers and companies when dealing with public adjusters is being championed by the Department of Insurance. Our panel of industry leaders will provide the latest updates on these and other issues during the education session at the Inn at 835 from 2:00 to 5:00 pm. 

Also during the three-hour session, Joanna Coll, General Counsel for the Illinois Department of Insurance will address attendees on the state of the Department, legislative agendas, and much more. Additionally, Vice-Chair of the House Insurance Committee will address the group.
