CIV PRO-PROMISSORY NOTE LIMIT                                              

Synopsis of Bill as introduced:
        Amends the Code of Civil Procedure.  Provides  that  a  cause  of      
   action on a promissory note with a due date accrues on the due date or      
   the  date  to  which  the  due  date is accelerated.  Provides that an      
   action to enforce an obligation to pay a demand promissory  note  must      
   be  commenced  within  10  years after the demand and provides that an      
   action is barred if no  demand  is  made  and  neither  principal  nor      
   interest  has  been paid during a 10-year period.   Amends the Uniform      
   Commercial Code by eliminating language setting forth the  statute  of      
   limitations  on  notes payable at a definite time and notes payable on      
   demand.

   injured or has a cause of action shall be  furnished  a  copy  of  the      
   statute  concerning  the commencement of civil actions.  Provides that      
   if the Authority fails to furnish a copy of the  statute,  any  action      
   commenced  against the Authority shall not be dismissed for failure to      
   comply with  requirements  regarding  notice.   Makes  other  changes.

          FISCAL NOTE, H-AM 1 & 2 (Office of Ill. Courts)                      
          SB 710, amended would have no fiscal impact on the Judicial          
          Branch.
