Illinois lawmakers to tackle auto and home insurance affordability in 2026, sparking debate over reform limits.
Illinois House Speaker Emanuel “Chris” Welch has announced that insurance regulation, especially affordability of auto and homeowners insurance, will be a top priority when the General Assembly reconvenes in January 2026.
Speaking at the City Club of Chicago, Welch cited public concern over rising premiums, while Secretary of State Alexi Giannoulias pushed for reforms banning the use of age, credit scores, and zip codes in auto insurance pricing.
Critics warn such measures could raise overall premiums and drive insurers out of the state.
Previous attempts to expand regulatory authority faced legislative pushback, and debate is expected to intensify as lawmakers prepare to meet.
