Illinois orders auto insurers to disclose rental coverage

Public Act 104-0847 adds Section 143.35 to the Illinois Insurance Code. It requires auto insurers to notify customers about the availability of rental vehicle coverage at two points – when a person applies for a policy, and at least 30 days before each renewal. The measure was sponsored by Sen. Laura Murphy, Sen. Suzanne Glowiak Hilton, Sen. Paul Faraci and Sen. Doris Turner, along with Rep. Justin Cochran and Rep. Maurice West.
