Illinois Statutes Chapter 215. Insurance § 107/25. Penalties

(a) If the Director believes that the controlling producer or any other person has not materially complied with this Act or any regulation or order promulgated hereunder, after notice and opportunity to be heard, the Director may order the controlling producer to cease placing business with the controlled insurer. If it is found that the controlled insurer or any policyholder thereof has suffered any loss or damage because of the material noncompliance, the Director may maintain a civil action or intervene in an action brought by or on behalf of the insurer or policyholder for recovery of compensatory damages or other appropriate relief. This subsection (a) shall not be construed to prevent any other person from taking civil action against a controlling producer.

(b) If an order for liquidation or rehabilitation of the controlled insurer has been entered under Article XIII of the Illinois Insurance Code  1 and the receiver appointed under that order believes that the controlling producer or any other person has not materially complied with this Act or any regulation or order promulgated hereunder and the insurer suffered any loss or damage as a result, the receiver may maintain a civil action for recovery of damages or other appropriate sanctions for the benefit of the insurer.

(c) Nothing in this Section shall affect the right of the Director to impose any other penalties authorized under the Illinois Insurance Code.  2

(d) Nothing in this Section is intended to, or shall in any manner, alter or affect the rights of policyholder, claimants, creditors, or other third parties.
