(20 ILCS 1805/30.25)
Sec. 30.25. Stay of prosecution. During and for a period of 14 days
after a period of military service
in excess of 29 days, a court having jurisdiction over the
enforcement of
any civil obligation or
liability, the prosecution of any civil suit or proceeding, or the entry or
enforcement
of any civil order, writ, judgment, or decree may stay, postpone, or suspend
the matter if the court
determines that a service member's failure to meet the obligation is the direct
result
of that period of military service. The stay, postponement, or
suspension of
proceedings does not in any way modify any condition, obligation, term, or
liability agreed upon or incurred by a person in military service including but
not limited to
accrued interest, late fees, or
penalties. No stay, postponement, or suspension shall be provided regarding
any
written agreement entered into, or debt that is incurred, by the person during
or after his or her period
of military service. A violation of this Section constitutes a
civil rights violation under the Illinois Human Rights Act. All proceeds from the collection of any civil penalty
imposed under this Section shall be deposited into the Illinois Military Family Relief Fund.
