On March 9, 2020, Governor JB Pritzker proclaimed a statewide disaster due to the Coronavirus
Disease 2019 (COVID-19) outbreak within the State of Illinois, and again on April 1 and on
April 30, 2020 declared a statewide disaster in response to the exponential spread of COVID-19
(the “Gubernatorial Disaster Proclamations”). On March 20, 2020, the Governor issued
Executive Order 2020-10 ordering Illinois residents to stay at home unless otherwise permitted
under the order and that all non-essential business and operations within the State cease for the
remainder of the Gubernatorial Disaster Proclamations. On April 1, 2020, the Governor issued
Executive Order 2020-18 continuing and extending Executive Order 2020-10 in its entirety for
the duration of the Gubernatorial Disaster Proclamations. On April 30, 2020 the Governor issued
Executive Order 2020-32 extending the provisions of the prior executive orders with some

The Department issued Company Bulletin 2020-09 on April 3, 2020, requesting that insurers
consider implementing certain safeguards to ensure Illinois insurance consumer rights are
protected and that Illinois consumers do not suffer unnecessary hardship during these trying
times. Due to the continued public health threat posed by COVID-19 and the extension of the
Gubernatorial Disaster Proclamations and Executive Orders mentioned above, the Department
hereby requests that insurers extend the safeguards listed in Company Bulletin 2020-09
through May 29, 2020.
