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.

Right of State as judgment creditor.

Except as to any
sale had by virtue of a judgment of foreclosure in accordance with Article
XV of this Act, whenever any real estate
has been or is sold at a judicial or judgment
sale and such real estate is then subject to a lien or claim for lien in
favor of the People of the State of Illinois, which is junior and inferior
to the lien so enforced or foreclosed by or through that sale, the right
of the State to redeem by virtue of its lien from that sale or from the
lien so foreclosed or enforced ceases and terminates at the end of 12 months
from the date upon which it is filed for record in the Office
of the recorder for the County in which the lands so sold are situated, if
such lands are unregistered, or in the Office of the Registrar of Titles
for such County, if such lands are registered, a certified copy of the original
or duplicate recorded or registered certificate of such sale, such certified
copy being endorsed by the State's Attorney of such County, or his or her
assistant, showing service of a copy of such certificate upon him or her,
and upon such service such officer shall make such endorsement.   Service may be made by
United States registered or certified mail.
