Slavery Era Insurance Policies Act - Illinois

Following the 'Slavery Era Insurance Policies Act' in California, the state of Illinois decides to adopt a similar measure in 2003 requiring insurance companies to report of any records pertaining to slaveholder insurance policies issued by any predecessor corporation during the slavery era. On 10 March 2004, the Insurance Division of the Department of Financial and Professional Regulation sends a bulletin to all licensed insurers in the state. While the response rate was high (99.6%) and included some responses from companies that were in business during the slavery era, the report reveals no information relating to slavery era insurance policies.
