Diligent Effort Affidavit / Declination Form / Filing of Declinations

There is no specific form or affidavit upon which you must record your declinations for Illinois risks and you do not need to report your declinations with the SLAI (but you do need to report policies and premium bearing endorsements).

You are required to keep a record of your declinations as described in Regulation 2701.60. Paragraphs 2 and 7 of the Illinois Surplus Line Law require surplus line records to be kept for 7 years.
