Illinois Compiled Statutes (ILCS)
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.
(770 ILCS 23/20)

The lien of a health care
professional or
health care provider under this Act shall, from and after the time of the
service of the lien
notice, attach to any verdict, judgment, award, settlement, or compromise
secured by or
on behalf of the injured person. If the verdict, judgment, award, settlement,
or
compromise is to be paid over time by means of an annuity or otherwise, any

this Act shall be satisfied by the party obligated to compensate the injured
person to the
fullest extent permitted by Section 10 before the establishment of the annuity
