il-v50i40-50-ill-adm-code-3503: 50 Ill. Adm. Code 3503 — Farm Mutual Limitations of Risk Requirements

1) Heading of the Part: Farm Mutual Limitations of Risk Requirements 2) Code Citation: 50 Ill. Adm. Code 3503 3) Section Number: Proposed Action: 3503.10 New Section 4) Date Notice of Proposed Rule Published in the Illinois Register: 50 Ill. Reg. 7682; June 5, 2026 5) Reason for the Withdrawal: This portion of the law on aggregate reinsurance sunsets in 2028, and the Department expects any replacement language will address this issue. Providing clarity in the law is preferable to defining "event" via regulation. In the meantime we do not believe the current language puts Illinois farm mutuals at significant risk, and we are concerned about unintended consequences for farm mutuals and their partner reinsurers, as farm mutuals investigate aggregate reinsurance for next year.
