AI Summary
This bill amends the Illinois Vehicle Code by introducing a new requirement for how the Secretary of State handles situations where an insurance company fails to respond to a request for insurance verification. Specifically, the bill mandates that if an insurance company does not respond to a verification request, the Secretary of State must send a certified mail notice to the vehicle owner informing them of the insurance company's non-response. Additionally, the bill requires the Secretary of State to establish an optional email alert system that will notify vehicle owners about such insurance verification failures, but only if the owner has previously provided an email address to the Secretary of State. This new provision aims to improve communication and transparency between the state, insurance companies, and vehicle owners regarding insurance verification, with the goal of ensuring that all vehicle owners maintain proper insurance coverage. The bill takes effect immediately upon becoming law.
