(55 ILCS 5/5-24003) (from Ch. 34, par. 5-24003)
Sec. 5-24003.
Petition; hearing.
Whenever an examiner certifies that
an applicant is entitled to the benefits of this Division, such
examiner shall file a petition on behalf of such applicant in the circuit
court, which petition shall set forth such facts as are necessary under
this Division to give the court jurisdiction of the
subject-matter thereof and a full statement of the financial condition of
the applicant. The court shall set a day for a hearing on such petition
which shall be not less than 3 nor more than 10 days after the date of the
filing thereof. The court may require such persons as it deems necessary to
appear and testify at any such hearing and may direct that process be
issued requiring the attendance at such hearing of any such persons.
If the applicant is too ill to be present in the court room at the time
of such hearing, the court may, in its discretion, hold all or part of such
hearing at the home of the applicant or at such other place wherein the
applicant may be confined.
