14    under wage assignments outstanding; provided that the

17    Deduction Statute. The court may modify an order for
18    installment payments, from time to time, upon application
19    of either party upon notice to the other.
20        (3) Compel any person cited, other than the judgment
21    debtor, to deliver up any assets so discovered, to be
22    applied in satisfaction of the judgment, in whole or in
23    part, when those assets are held under such circumstances
24    that in an action by the judgment debtor he or she could

3citation and a copy of the citation notice was mailed to the
4judgment debtor as required by subsection (b).
5    (e) All property ordered to be delivered up shall, except
6as otherwise provided in this Section, be delivered to the
7sheriff to be collected by the sheriff or sold at public sale
8and the proceeds thereof applied towards the payment of costs
9and the satisfaction of the judgment. If the judgment debtor's
10property is of such a nature that it is not readily delivered
11up to the sheriff for public sale or if another method of sale
12is more appropriate to liquidate the property or enhance its
13value at sale, the court may order the sale of such property by
14the debtor, third party respondent, or by a selling agent other
15than the sheriff upon such terms as are just and equitable. The
16proceeds of sale, after deducting reasonable and necessary
17expenses, are to be turned over to the creditor and applied to
18the balance due on the judgment.
19    (f) (1) The citation may prohibit the party to whom it is

21    disposition of, or interfering with, any property not
22    exempt from the enforcement of a judgment therefrom, a
23    deduction order or garnishment, belonging to the judgment
24    debtor or to which he or she may be entitled or which may
25    thereafter be acquired by or become due to him or her, and
26    from paying over or otherwise disposing of any moneys not

 

 

HB3478 Engrossed- 9 -LRB097 10881 AJO 51405 b

1    so exempt which are due or to become due to the judgment
2    debtor, until the further order of the court or the
3    termination of the proceeding, whichever occurs first. The
4    third party may not be obliged to withhold the payment of
5    any moneys beyond double the amount of the balance due
6    sought to be enforced by the judgment creditor. The court
7    may punish any party who violates the restraining provision
8    of a citation as and for a contempt, or if the party is a
9    third party may enter judgment against him or her in the
10    amount of the unpaid portion of the judgment and costs
11    allowable under this Section, or in the amount of the value
12    of the property transferred, whichever is lesser.
13        (2) The court may enjoin any person, whether or not a
14    party to the supplementary proceeding, from making or
15    allowing any transfer or other disposition of, or
16    interference with, the property of the judgment debtor not
17    exempt from the enforcement of a judgment, a deduction
18    order or garnishment, or the property or debt not so exempt
19    concerning which any person is required to attend and be
20    examined until further direction in the premises. The
21    injunction order shall remain in effect until vacated by
22    the court or until the proceeding is terminated, whichever
23    first occurs.
24    (g) If it appears that any property, chose in action,
25credit or effect discovered, or any interest therein, is
26claimed by any person, the court shall, as in garnishment

 

 

HB3478 Engrossed- 10 -LRB097 10881 AJO 51405 b

1proceedings, permit or require the claimant to appear and
2maintain his or her right. The rights of the person cited and
3the rights of any adverse claimant shall be asserted and
4determined pursuant to the law relating to garnishment
5proceedings.
6    (h) Costs in proceedings authorized by this Section shall
7be allowed, assessed and paid in accordance with rules,
8provided that if the court determines, in its discretion, that
9costs incurred by the judgment creditor were improperly
10incurred, those costs shall be paid by the judgment creditor.
11    (i) This Section is in addition to and does not affect
12enforcement of judgments or proceedings supplementary thereto,
13by any other methods now or hereafter provided by law.
14    (j) This Section does not grant the power to any court to
15order installment or other payments from, or compel the sale,
16delivery, surrender, assignment or conveyance of any property
17exempt by statute from the enforcement of a judgment thereon, a
18deduction order, garnishment, attachment, sequestration,
19process or other levy or seizure.
20    (k) (Blank).
21    (k-5) If the court determines that any property held by a
22third party respondent is wages pursuant to Section 12-801, the
23court shall proceed as if a wage deduction proceeding had been
24filed and proceed to enter such necessary and proper orders as
25would have been entered in a wage deduction proceeding
26including but not limited to the granting of the statutory

 

 

HB3478 Engrossed- 11 -LRB097 10881 AJO 51405 b

1exemptions allowed by Section 12-803 and all other remedies
2allowed plaintiff and defendant pursuant to Part 8 of Article
312 of this Act.
4    (k-10) If a creditor discovers personal property of the
5judgment debtor that is subject to the lien of a citation to
6discover assets, the creditor may have the court impress a lien
7against a specific item of personal property, including a
8beneficial interest in a land trust. The lien survives the
9termination of the citation proceedings and remains as a lien
10against the personal property in the same manner that a
11judgment lien recorded against real property pursuant to
12Section 12-101 remains a lien on real property. If the judgment
13is revived before dormancy, the lien shall remain. A lien
14against personal property may, but need not, be recorded in the
15office of the recorder or filed as an informational filing
16pursuant to the Uniform Commercial Code.
17    (l) At any citation hearing at which the judgment debtor
18appears and seeks a declaration that certain of his or her
19income or assets are exempt, the court shall proceed to
20determine whether the property which the judgment debtor
21declares to be exempt is exempt from judgment. At any time
22before the return date specified on the citation, the judgment
23debtor may request, in writing, a hearing to declare exempt
24certain income and assets by notifying the clerk of the court
25before that time, using forms as may be provided by the clerk
26of the court. The clerk of the court will obtain a prompt

 

 

HB3478 Engrossed- 12 -LRB097 10881 AJO 51405 b

1hearing date from the court and will provide the necessary
2forms that must be prepared by the judgment debtor or the
3attorney for the judgment debtor and sent to the judgment
4creditor, or the judgment creditor's attorney, regarding the
5time and location of the hearing. This notice may be sent by
6regular first class mail. At the hearing, the court shall
7immediately, unless for good cause shown that the hearing is to
8be continued, shall proceed to determine whether the property
9which the judgment debtor declares to be exempt is exempt from
10judgment. The restraining provisions of subsection (f) shall
11not apply to any property determined by the court to be exempt.
12    (m) The judgment or balance due on the judgment becomes a
13lien when a citation is served in accordance with subsection
14(a) of this Section. The lien binds nonexempt personal
15property, including money, choses in action, and effects of the
16judgment debtor as follows:
17        (1) When the citation is directed against the judgment
18    debtor, upon all personal property belonging to the
19    judgment debtor in the possession or control of the
20    judgment debtor or which may thereafter be acquired or come
21    due to the judgment debtor to the time of the disposition
22    of the citation.
23        (2) When the citation is directed against a third
24    party, upon all personal property belonging to the judgment
25    debtor in the possession or control of the third party or
26    which thereafter may be acquired or come due the judgment

 

 

HB3478 Engrossed- 13 -LRB097 10881 AJO 51405 b

1    debtor and comes into the possession or control of the
2    third party to the time of the disposition of the citation.
3    The lien established under this Section does not affect the
4rights of citation respondents in property prior to the service
5of the citation upon them and does not affect the rights of
6bona fide purchasers or lenders without notice of the citation.
7The lien is effective for the period specified by Supreme Court
8Rule.
9    This subsection (m), as added by Public Act 88-48, is a
10declaration of existing law.
11    (n) If any provision of this Act or its application to any
12person or circumstance is held invalid, the invalidity of that
13provision or application does not affect the provisions or
14applications of the Act that can be given effect without the
15invalid provision or application.

6credits to the judgment, if any.
7    (c) Service of notice of the petition to revive a judgment
8shall be made in accordance with Supreme Court Rule 106.
9    (d) An order reviving a judgment shall be for the original
10amount of the judgment. The plaintiff may recover interest and
11court costs from the date of the original judgment. Credits to
12the judgment shall be reflected by the plaintiff in
13supplemental proceedings or execution.
14    (e) If a judgment debtor has filed for protection under the
15United States Bankruptcy Code and failed to successfully
16adjudicate and remove a lien filed by a judgment creditor, then
17the judgment may be revived only as to the property to which a
18lien attached before the filing of the bankruptcy action.
19    (f) A judgment may be revived as to fewer than all judgment
20debtors, and such order for revival of judgment shall be final,
21appealable, and enforceable.
22    (g) This Section does not apply to a child support judgment
23or to a judgment recovered in an action for damages for an
24injury described in Section 13-214.1, which need not be revived
25as provided in this Section and which may be enforced at any
26time as provided in Section 12-108.

3    Sec. 12-101. Lien of judgment. With respect to the creation
4of liens on real estate by judgments, all real estate in the
5State of Illinois is divided into 2 classes.
6    The first class consists of all real property, the title to
7which is registered under "An Act concerning land titles",
8approved May 1, 1897, as amended.
9    The second class consists of all real property not
10registered under "An Act concerning land titles".
11    As to real estate in class one, a judgment is a lien on the
12real estate of the person against whom it is entered for the
13same period as in class two, when Section 85 of "An Act
14concerning land titles", has been complied with.
15    As to real estate included within class two, a judgment is
16a lien on the real estate of the person against whom it is
17entered in any county in this State, including the county in
18which it is entered, only from the time a transcript, certified
19copy or memorandum of the judgment is filed in the office of
20the recorder in the county in which the real estate is located.
21The lien may be foreclosed by an action brought in the name of
22the judgment creditor or its assignee of record under Article
23XV in the same manner as a mortgage of real property, except
24that the redemption period shall be 6 months from the date of
25sale and the real estate homestead exemption under Section

 

 

HB3478 Engrossed- 16 -LRB097 10881 AJO 51405 b

112-901 shall apply. A judgment resulting from the entry of an
2order requiring child support payments shall be a lien upon the
3real estate of the person obligated to make the child support
4payments, but shall not be enforceable in any county of this
5State until a transcript, certified copy, or memorandum of the
6lien is filed in the office of the recorder in the county in
7which the real estate is located. Any lien hereunder arising
8out of an order for support shall be a lien only as to and from
9the time that an installment or payment is due under the terms
10of the order. Further, the order for support shall not be a
11lien on real estate to the extent of payments made as evidenced
12by the records of the Clerk of the Circuit Court or State
13agency receiving payments pursuant to the order. In the event
14payments made pursuant to that order are not paid to the Clerk
15of the Circuit Court or a State agency, then each lien imposed
16by this Section may be released in the following manner:
17        (a) A Notice of Filing and an affidavit stating that
18    all installments of child support required to be paid
19    pursuant to the order under which the lien or liens were
20    imposed have been paid shall be filed with the office of
21    recorder in each county in which each such lien appears of
22    record, together with proof of service of such notice and
23    affidavit upon the recipient of such payments.
24        (b) Service of such affidavit shall be by any means
25    authorized under Sections 2-203 and 2-208 of the Code of
26    Civil Procedure or under Supreme Court Rules 11 or 105(b).

 

 

HB3478 Engrossed- 17 -LRB097 10881 AJO 51405 b

11    SUCH JUDGMENT LIEN WILL BE DEEMED TO BE RELEASED AND NO
12    LONGER SUBJECT TO FORECLOSURE. THIS RELEASE OF LIEN WILL
13    NOT ACT AS A SATISFACTION OF SUCH JUDGMENT.
14        (d) If no affidavit objecting to the release of the
15    lien or liens is filed within 28 days of the Notice
16    described in paragraph (c) of this Section such lien or
17    liens shall be deemed to be released and no longer subject
18    to foreclosure.
19    A judgment is not a lien on real estate for longer than 7
20years from the time it is entered or revived, unless the
21judgment is revived within 7 years after its entry or last
22revival and a new memorandum of judgment is recorded prior to
