Illinois Statutes Chapter 215. Insurance § 155/12. Examination; compliance

(a) The Secretary or his authorized representative shall have the power and authority, and it shall be his duty, to cause to be visited and examined annually any title insurance company doing business under this Act, and to verify and compel compliance with the provisions of law governing it.

(b) The Secretary or his authorized agent shall have power and authority to compel compliance with the provisions of this Act and shall, only upon the showing of good cause, require any title insurance company to take all legal means to obtain the appropriate records of its registered agents and make them available for examination at a time and place designated by the Secretary. Expenses incurred in the course of such examinations will be the responsibility of the title insurance company. In the event that a present or former registered agent or its successor refuses or is unable to cooperate with a title insurance company in furnishing the records requested by the Secretary or his or her authorized agent, then the Secretary or his or her authorized agent shall have the power and authority to obtain those records directly from the registered agent.
