State Sen. Jacqueline Collins, D-Chicago, says she hopes reports that Illinois drivers have had to pay too-high automobile insurance premiums during the coronavirus pandemic will help her find support for consumer-centered insurance reforms.
Being able to see the stark numbers of the pandemic overcharges might prompt legislators — and the car owners who vote for them — to push for and demand that the state’s insurance regulations be rewritten to be more consumer-oriented, as they are in most other states, Collins says.
