§ 408.3.

Insurance Financial Regulation Fund; uses. The monies deposited into the Insurance Financial Regulation Fund shall be used only for (i) payment of the expenses of the Department, including related administrative expenses, incurred in analyzing, investigating and examining the financial condition or control of insurance companies and other entities licensed or seeking to be licensed by the Department, including the collection, analysis and distribution of information on insurance premiums, other income, costs and expenses, and (ii) to pay internal costs and expenses of the Interstate Insurance Receivership Commission allocated to this State and authorized and admitted companies doing an insurance business in this State under Article X of the Interstate Receivership Compact. All distributions and payments from the Insurance Financial Regulation Fund shall be subject to appropriation as otherwise provided by law for payment of such expenses. Sums appropriated under clause (ii) of the preceding paragraph shall be deemed to satisfy, pro tanto, the obligations of insurers doing business in this State under Article X of the Interstate Insurance Receivership Compact. Nothing in this Code shall prohibit the General Assembly from appropriating funds from the General Revenue Fund to the Department for the purpose of administering this Code. No fees collected pursuant to Section 408 of this Code shall be used for the regulation of pension funds or activities by the Department in the performance of its duties under Article 22 of the Illinois Pension Code. If at the end of a fiscal year the balance in the Insurance Financial Regulation Fund which remains unexpended or unobligated exceeds the amount of funds that the Director may certify is needed for the purposes enumerated in this Section, then the General Assembly may appropriate that excess amount for purposes other than those enumerated in this Section.
