Defines "adequate catastrophic reinsurance" as reinsurance in an amount no less than that required for a 500-year event, based on an actuarially sound catastrophe model that limits the company's exposure on any one loss occurrence to (i) 20% of its policyholders' surplus or (ii) an amount authorized by the Director of Insurance. Provides that a farm mutual insurance company must additionally have and maintain aggregate reinsurance coverage in an amount no less than that required for a 250-year event, based on an actuarially sound catastrophe model. Provides that the reinsurance permitted or required under the provisions must be provided by (i) a farm mutual insurance company, (ii) an insurance company authorized to write the kinds of insurance described in the Illinois Insurance Code pertaining to casualty, fidelity, surety, fire, marine, and other types of insurance, or (iii) a reinsurer and reinsurance program meeting the standards set forth in the Illinois Insurance Code that permit a domestic company to take credit for reinsurance. Requires a farm mutual insurance company converting from unlimited catastrophic reinsurance to adequate catastrophic reinsurance to provide notice of the change to policyholders in a form approved by the Director of Insurance. Provides that the provisions of the amendatory Act become inoperative on and after the date that is 5 years after the effective date of the amendatory Act. Effective immediately.
