Illinois Department of Insurance has Appointed Temporary Director

Illinois Governor Rauner has named Acting Director Jim Stephens as director of the Department of Insurance on a temporary basis through January 2017.   The Governor’s Office will continue the search for a permanent director in the interim. The appointment does require Senate confirmation.  Director Stephens was not able to continue as “acting” Director due to existing rules with a 60-day time limit on such appointment, therefore, a “temporary” appointment was made.
