Illinois does not have an export list. For every risk you place in the surplus line market, you must have 3 declinations from licensed insurers, unless the risk is exempt.
There is no specific form upon which you must record your declinations for Illinois risks.
The record of declination must state the name of the authorized insurers and the individuals contacted at each insurer who declined the risk.
The record of declination must be kept in your files for 7 years.
A new diligent effort must be performed at policy renewal, and for any policy extension.
The SLAI is not authorized, and does not have the facility to assist with market searches.
