As you know, Illinois has a healthy, thriving auto and home insurance market, with over 200 companies competing to offer auto and home insurance statewide. This competition is why the state's insurance premiums are 18% lower than the national average and much lower than in other states.
However, Illinois lawmakers are considering SB 268, which could make insurance more expensive for families and small businesses. In a time of rising costs, Illinois residents cannot afford to pay more!
We have seen similar bills being enacted in California, which resulted in increased insurance rates for their residents. This cannot happen to our state.
We need your voice as this misguided bill moves through the Legislature. Together, we can urge lawmakers to vote no.
Tell Illinois Lawmakers to REJECT SB 268.
Dear legislator,
I'm writing to urge you to vote NO on SB 268. As you know, the competitive insurance market in Illinois is the reason why our insurance premiums are 18% lower than the national average and smaller than other similarly sized states.
If passed, SB 268 could completely upend our state's vibrant insurance marketplace and likely lead to higher costs and fewer coverage options for consumers like me.
Illinois residents are already struggling with inflation and the increased cost of living. We cannot afford to have higher insurance rates!
When California adopted similar bills, the overregulation led to increased insurance rates for its residents. These policies could likely result in higher premiums, fewer options, and less coverage for consumers like me. I don't need higher insurance costs on top of everything else!
As your constituent, I strongly urge you to protect us and vote NO on SB 268.
Sincerely,
