Illinois General Assembly - Bill Status for HB 2723

Amends the Code of Civil Procedure. In provisions concerning change of name, provides that a person interested in the matter shall make known any objection to the granting of the petition for change of name by filing a written objection stating the reasons for the objection with the court at least 2 court days before the matter is scheduled to be heard and by appearing in court at the hearing to show cause why the petition for change of name should not be granted. Provides that if no written objection is timely filed, the court may grant the petition. Deletes language restricting or prohibiting the filing of a petition for change of name by persons convicted of certain crimes. Provides instead that if the petitioner has been convicted of identity theft, aggravated identity theft, felony or misdemeanor criminal sexual abuse when the victim of the offense at the time of its commission is under 18 years of age, felony or misdemeanor sexual exploitation of a child, felony or misdemeanor indecent solicitation of a child, felony or misdemeanor indecent solicitation of an adult, or any other offense for which a person is required to register under the Sex Offender Registration Act in this State or any other state, and the petitioner has not been pardoned, the clerk shall notify the Illinois State Police so that they may have the opportunity to file a timely objection to the petition for change of name. Provides that the court may waive specified publication requirements and order that the record of the proceeding be designated confidential if the court finds good cause for entering such an order, including evidence that publication or availability of a record of the proceeding will place the petitioner or another individual in physical danger and evidence that the petitioner or another individual has been the victim of stalking or assaultive behavior.

Deletes provision providing a person interested in the name change petition may file an objection to the petition at least 2 court days before a scheduled court hearing on the matter. Requires the circuit court clerk to promptly serve a copy of the petition on the State's Attorney where the petitioner resides. Allows the State's Attorney to file an objection to the name change petition if the petitioner: (1) is the defendant in a pending criminal offense charge; (2) has been convicted of identity theft, aggravated identity theft, felony or misdemeanor criminal sexual abuse when the victim of the offense at the time of its commission is under 18 years of age, felony or misdemeanor sexual exploitation of a child, felony or misdemeanor indecent solicitation of a child, or felony or misdemeanor indecent solicitation of an adult; or (3) has been convicted of any other offense for which he or she is required to register under the Sex Offender Registration Act in this State or any other state; and has not been pardoned for the conviction of an offense listed under (2) or (3). Deletes provision requiring notice to the Department of State Police. Provides the court may order that the records of the clerk of the circuit court of a proceeding under this Article be sealed until further order of the court upon good cause shown.

Restores the prohibition on a person required to register under the Sex Offender Registration Act in this State or any other state who has not been pardoned from filing a petition for a name change in the courts of Illinois during the period he or she is required to register. Adds to the prohibition persons required to register under the Murderer and Violent Offender Against Youth Registration Act or Arsonist Registration Act. Further amends the Code of Civil Procedure. Requires any petition form that a person may file as a name change petition by filling in the blanks in the form with his or her information to contain the following: "WARNING: A person who is required to register under the Sex Offender Registration Act, Murderer and Violent Offender Against Youth Registration Act, or Arsonist Registration Act in this State or similar law in any other state who has not been pardoned commits a felony offense under those respective Acts by seeking to change his or her name during his or her registration period. Makes conforming changes.

Replaces everything after the enacting clause. Creates the Timeshare Lien and Security Interest Act. Provides that a managing entity has a lien on a timeshare interest for any of the following respectively levied or imposed against a timeshare interest: (1) assessments, which, unless the timeshare instrument provides otherwise, include fees, charges, late charges, fines, collection costs, and interest charged in accordance with the timeshare instrument; (2) reasonable collection and attorney's fees and costs the managing entity incurs to collect assessments; and (3) taxes, interest, penalties, late payment fees, or fines in accordance with applicable law or the timeshare instrument. Contains provisions governing: the perfection of timeshare liens and security interests; nonjudicial foreclosure against timeshare estates; and foreclosure of lien or security interest on a timeshare use; recording and notice requirements; redemption periods; requirements for public auction; applicability; and other matters.
