AI Summary

This bill amends the Illinois Insurance Guaranty Fund Article of the Illinois Insurance Code to adjust the timeline for certain provisions related to the Fund's purpose and its ability to contract with the Office of Special Deputy Receiver, making them inoperative five years after the effective date of this new legislation rather than five years after a previous amendment. The Office of Special Deputy Receiver is an entity that assists the Director of Insurance in managing the affairs of insolvent insurance companies. Additionally, the bill specifies that any lawsuit against the Illinois Insurance Guaranty Fund concerning this Article must be filed in Cook County, and the Fund will be exempt from providing an appeal bond in any appeal related to a cause of action under this Article. These changes are effective immediately upon becoming law.
