The Surplus Line Association of Illinois (SLA) is an organization of approximately 1400 surplus line insurance producers. Surplus line producers are agents and brokers who hold a special license from the Illinois Department of Insurance allowing them, under certain conditions, to procure policies from insurers that are not licensed in this state.

Created by statute in 1985, the Association acts as a liaison between the Department and surplus line producers. The SLA is a self-funded body charged with promoting compliance with surplus line law, accepting filings and consolidating reporting on behalf of producers, and assisting the Division in its regulation of the surplus line marketplace.

The SLA plays an essential role in protecting Illinois policyholders by collecting, compiling and providing to the Department of Insurance vital marketplace information and by educating surplus line producers and assisting them in complying with the law.
