(215 ILCS 5/393.1) (from Ch. 73, par. 1005.1)
Sec. 393.1. Unearned premium reserve. (1) Every insurance company authorized in this State to transact any of the kinds of business described in Class 3 of Section 4 shall maintain an unearned premium reserve on all policies in force which reserve shall be charged as a liability. The portions of the gross premiums in force, after deducting bona fide reinsurance in authorized companies, which shall be held as a premium reserve, shall never be less in the aggregate than the company's actual liability to all its insureds for the return of gross unearned premiums. In the calculation of the company's actual liability to all its insureds, the reserve shall be computed pursuant to the method commonly referred to as the monthly pro rata method; provided, however, that the Director may require that such reserve shall be equal to the unearned portions of the gross premiums in force, after deducting reinsurance in authorized companies, in which case the reserve shall be computed on each respective risk from the date of the issuance of the policy.
(2) Before any reinsurance may qualify as a deduction from a company's unearned premium reserve, the accepting company shall assume full liability for the amount of coverage which the ceding company guaranteed for the portions of premiums which it ceded to the accepting company.
