Pritzker called for legislation following State Farm’s double-digit rate hike last year.

State Farm Mutual Automobile Insurance Company CEO Jon Farney wrote Pritzker on Wednesday to push against legislation aimed at reining in insurance premium price hikes.

Governor Pritzker called for legislation following State Farm’s 27% homeowners rate hike.

Illinois leaders remain frustrated by State Farm’s rate hikes on Illinois homeowners and threatened more state regulation over premium increases in a letter to the editor published Wednesday in the Chicago Tribune.

According to Bloomington-based State Farm, home insurance rates are on the rise in Illinois because of rising home replacement costs and more frequent severe weather events that drive up the cost and frequency of claims.
