735 ILCS 5/ Code of Civil Procedure.

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.

Sec. 12-808.5. Certification of judgment balance.

Whenever a wage
deduction order has not been fully satisfied by the end of the first full
calendar quarter following the date of service of the wage deduction
summons:

(1) The judgment creditor or his attorney shall

prepare a certification that states the amount of the judgment remaining unsatisfied as of the last calendar day of each full calendar quarter for which the wage deduction order continues in effect.

(2) The certification shall be mailed or delivered to

the employer by the judgment creditor or his or her attorney within 15 days after the end of each calendar quarter for which the wage deduction order continues in effect.  The employer shall hand deliver or mail by first class mail a copy of the certification to the judgment debtor at the judgment debtor's last known address.

(3) In the event that the plaintiff fails to provide

the certification required by this Section, the employer must continue to withhold funds from the defendant's wages but may hold the  funds without remitting to the plaintiff until such time as it receives a certification required by this Section. A certification of judgment balance need not be filed with the court.

(4) Any party to the wage deduction proceeding may,

upon motion with notice to all other parties, ask the court to review the balance due claimed by the judgment creditor.
