Dear Members and Colleagues,

On behalf of the Illinois Real Estate Lawyers Association (IRELA), we are providing the memorandum outlining our formal position on pending title insurance legislation, including SB 3902 and SB 2648.

Click to download the IRELA Memorandum

IRELA supports efforts to strengthen consumer protections and regulatory oversight within the title insurance industry. However, we oppose these bills in their current form due to significant concerns regarding enforcement mechanisms and ongoing market practices that may harm Illinois consumers.

We encourage you to review the memorandum for a full explanation of IRELA’s position and recommendations. IRELA remains committed to working collaboratively with legislators, regulators, and industry stakeholders to advance meaningful reforms.

Please follow the steps below today (this could be called for hearing this Wednesday) to voice your opposition:

Thank you for your attention to this important matter.

Sincerely,

Illinois Real Estate Lawyers Association
