Illinois General Assembly - Illinois Compiled Statutes

Updating the database of the Illinois Compiled Statutes (ILCS) is an ongoing process. Recent laws may not yet be included in the ILCS database, but they are found on this site as Public Acts soon after they become law. For information concerning the relationship between statutes and Public Acts, refer to the Guide.

Because the statute database is maintained primarily for legislative drafting purposes, statutory changes are sometimes included in the statute database before they take effect. If the source note at the end of a Section of the statutes includes a Public Act that has not yet taken effect, the version of the law that is currently in effect may have already been removed from the database and you should refer to that Public Act to see the changes made to the current law.

Notice of Filing.

(a) At the time of the filing of the foreign judgment, the judgment
creditor or his lawyer shall make and file with the circuit clerk an
affidavit setting forth the name and last known post office address of the
judgment debtor, and the judgment creditor.

(b) Promptly upon the filing of a foreign judgment (other than
a
foreign
order of protection) and the affidavit,
the clerk shall mail notice of the filing of the foreign judgment to the
judgment debtor at the address given and shall make a note of the mailing
in the docket.  The notice shall include the name and post office address
of the judgment creditor and the judgment creditor's lawyer, if any, in
this State.  In addition, the judgment creditor may mail a notice of the
filing of the judgment to the judgment debtor and may file proof of mailing
with the clerk.  Lack of mailing notice of filing by the clerk shall not
affect the enforcement proceedings if proof of mailing by the judgment
creditor has been filed.

(c) The clerk shall not mail notice of the filing of a foreign order of
protection to the respondent named in the order.
