8     Sec. 2-1402. Supplementary proceedings.
9     (a) A judgment creditor, or his or her successor in
10 interest when that interest is made to appear of record, is
11 entitled to prosecute supplementary proceedings for the
12 purposes of examining the judgment debtor or any other person
13 to discover assets or income of the debtor not exempt from the
14 enforcement of the judgment, a deduction order or garnishment,
15 and of compelling the application of non-exempt assets or
16 income discovered toward the payment of the amount due under
17 the judgment. A supplementary proceeding shall be commenced by
18 the service of a citation issued by the clerk. The procedure
19 for conducting supplementary proceedings shall be prescribed
20 by rules. It is not a prerequisite to the commencement of a
21 supplementary proceeding that a certified copy of the judgment
22 has been returned wholly or partly unsatisfied. All citations
23 issued by the clerk shall have the following language, or
24 language substantially similar thereto, stated prominently on
25 the front, in capital letters: "YOUR FAILURE TO APPEAR IN COURT
26 AS HEREIN DIRECTED MAY CAUSE YOU TO BE ARRESTED AND BROUGHT
27 BEFORE THE COURT TO ANSWER TO A CHARGE OF CONTEMPT OF COURT,
28 WHICH MAY BE PUNISHABLE BY IMPRISONMENT IN THE COUNTY JAIL."
29 The court shall not grant a continuance of the supplementary
30 proceeding except upon good cause shown.

8 debtor, within three business days of the service upon the
9 cited party, a copy of the citation and the citation notice,
10 which may be sent by regular first-class mail to the judgment
11 debtor's last known address. In no event shall a citation
12 hearing be held sooner than five business days after the
13 mailing of the citation and citation notice to the judgment
14 debtor, except by agreement of the parties. The citation notice
15 need not be mailed to a corporation, partnership, or

6 income or assets toward payment on the judgment.
7     The amount of income or assets that may be applied toward

10 AGAINST CERTAIN INCOME OR ASSETS OF THE JUDGMENT DEBTOR WHICH
11 MAY NOT BE USED TO SATISFY THE JUDGMENT IN THE AMOUNT STATED
12 ABOVE:

29         (3) Under Illinois law, the amount of wages that may be
30     applied toward a judgment is limited to the lesser of (i)
31     15% of gross weekly wages or (ii) the amount by which
32     disposable earnings for a week exceed the total of 45 times
33     the federal minimum hourly wage or, under a wage deduction

11 judgment debtor also has the right to seek a declaration at an
12 earlier date, by notifying the clerk in writing at (insert
13 address of clerk). When so notified, the Clerk of the Court
14 will obtain a prompt hearing date from the court and will
15 provide the necessary forms that must be prepared by the
16 judgment debtor or the attorney for the judgment debtor and
17 sent to the judgment creditor and the judgment creditor's
18 attorney regarding the time and location of the hearing. This
19 notice may be sent by regular first class mail."
20     (c) When assets or income of the judgment debtor not exempt
21 from the satisfaction of a judgment, a deduction order or
22 garnishment are discovered, the court may, by appropriate order
23 or judgment:
24         (1) Compel the judgment debtor to deliver up, to be
25     applied in satisfaction of the judgment, in whole or in
26     part, money, choses in action, property or effects in his
27     or her possession or control, so discovered, capable of
28     delivery and to which his or her title or right of
29     possession is not substantially disputed.
30         (2) Compel the judgment debtor to pay to the judgment
31     creditor or apply on the judgment, in installments, a
32     portion of his or her income, however or whenever earned or
33     acquired, as the court may deem proper, having due regard
34     for the reasonable requirements of the judgment debtor and
35     his or her family, if dependent upon him or her, as well as
36     any payments required to be made by prior order of court or

 

 

SB1752 Enrolled - 5 - LRB094 10620 LCB 40957 b

1     under wage assignments outstanding; provided that the
2     judgment debtor shall not be compelled to pay income which
3     would be considered exempt as wages under the Wage
4     Deduction Statute. The court may modify an order for
5     installment payments, from time to time, upon application
6     of either party upon notice to the other.
7         (3) Compel any person cited, other than the judgment
8     debtor, to deliver up any assets so discovered, to be
9     applied in satisfaction of the judgment, in whole or in
10     part, when those assets are held under such circumstances
11     that in an action by the judgment debtor he or she could
12     recover them in specie or obtain a judgment for the
13     proceeds or value thereof as for conversion or
14     embezzlement.
15         (4) Enter any order upon or judgment against the person
16     cited that could be entered in any garnishment proceeding.
17         (5) Compel any person cited to execute an assignment of
18     any chose in action or a conveyance of title to real or
19     personal property, in the same manner and to the same
20     extent as a court could do in any proceeding by a judgment
21     creditor to enforce payment of a judgment or in aid of the
22     enforcement of a judgment.
23         (6) Authorize the judgment creditor to maintain an
24     action against any person or corporation that, it appears
25     upon proof satisfactory to the court, is indebted to the
26     judgment debtor, for the recovery of the debt, forbid the
27     transfer or other disposition of the debt until an action
28     can be commenced and prosecuted to judgment, direct that
29     the papers or proof in the possession or control of the
30     debtor and necessary in the prosecution of the action be
31     delivered to the creditor or impounded in court, and
32     provide for the disposition of any moneys in excess of the
33     sum required to pay the judgment creditor's judgment and
34     costs allowed by the court.
35     (d) No order or judgment shall be entered under subsection
36 (c) in favor of the judgment creditor unless there appears of

1 record a certification of mailing showing that a copy of the
2 citation and a copy of the citation notice was mailed to the
3 judgment debtor as required by subsection (b).
4     (e) All property ordered to be delivered up shall, except
5 as otherwise provided in this Section, be delivered to the
6 sheriff to be collected by the sheriff or sold at public sale
7 and the proceeds thereof applied towards the payment of costs
8 and the satisfaction of the judgment.
9     (f)  (1) The citation may prohibit the party to whom it is
10     directed from making or allowing any transfer or other
11     disposition of, or interfering with, any property not
12     exempt from the enforcement of a judgment therefrom, a
13     deduction order or garnishment, belonging to the judgment
14     debtor or to which he or she may be entitled or which may
15     thereafter be acquired by or become due to him or her, and
16     from paying over or otherwise disposing of any moneys not
17     so exempt which are due or to become due to the judgment
18     debtor, until the further order of the court or the
19     termination of the proceeding, whichever occurs first. The
20     third party may not be obliged to withhold the payment of
21     any moneys beyond double the amount of the balance due
22     sought to be enforced by the judgment creditor. The court
23     may punish any party who violates the restraining provision
24     of a citation as and for a contempt, or if the party is a
25     third party may enter judgment against him or her in the
26     amount of the unpaid portion of the judgment and costs
27     allowable under this Section, or in the amount of the value
28     of the property transferred, whichever is lesser.
29         (2) The court may enjoin any person, whether or not a
30     party to the supplementary proceeding, from making or
31     allowing any transfer or other disposition of, or
32     interference with, the property of the judgment debtor not
33     exempt from the enforcement of a judgment, a deduction
34     order or garnishment, or the property or debt not so exempt
35     concerning which any person is required to attend and be
36     examined until further direction in the premises. The

 

 

SB1752 Enrolled - 7 - LRB094 10620 LCB 40957 b

1     injunction order shall remain in effect until vacated by
2     the court or until the proceeding is terminated, whichever
3     first occurs.
4     (g) If it appears that any property, chose in action,
5 credit or effect discovered, or any interest therein, is
6 claimed by any person, the court shall, as in garnishment
7 proceedings, permit or require the claimant to appear and
8 maintain his or her right. The rights of the person cited and
9 the rights of any adverse claimant shall be asserted and
10 determined pursuant to the law relating to garnishment
11 proceedings.
12     (h) Costs in proceedings authorized by this Section shall
13 be allowed, assessed and paid in accordance with rules,
14 provided that if the court determines, in its discretion, that
15 costs incurred by the judgment creditor were improperly
16 incurred, those costs shall be paid by the judgment creditor.
17     (i) This Section is in addition to and does not affect
18 enforcement of judgments or proceedings supplementary thereto,
19 by any other methods now or hereafter provided by law.
20     (j) This Section does not grant the power to any court to
21 order installment or other payments from, or compel the sale,
22 delivery, surrender, assignment or conveyance of any property
23 exempt by statute from the enforcement of a judgment thereon, a
24 deduction order, garnishment, attachment, sequestration,
25 process or other levy or seizure.
26     (k) (Blank).
27     (l) At any citation hearing at which the judgment debtor
28 appears and seeks a declaration that certain of his or her
29 income or assets are exempt, the court shall proceed to
30 determine whether the property which the judgment debtor
31 declares to be exempt is exempt from judgment. At any time
32 before the return date specified on the citation, the judgment
33 debtor may request, in writing, a hearing to declare exempt
34 certain income and assets by notifying the clerk of the court
35 before that time, using forms as may be provided by the clerk
36 of the court. The clerk of the court will obtain a prompt

 

 

SB1752 Enrolled - 8 - LRB094 10620 LCB 40957 b

1 hearing date from the court and will provide the necessary
2 forms that must be prepared by the judgment debtor or the
3 attorney for the judgment debtor and sent to the judgment
4 creditor, or the judgment creditor's attorney, regarding the
5 time and location of the hearing. This notice may be sent by
6 regular first class mail. At the hearing, the court shall
7 immediately, unless for good cause shown that the hearing is to
8 be continued, shall proceed to determine whether the property
9 which the judgment debtor declares to be exempt is exempt from
10 judgment. The restraining provisions of subsection (f) shall
11 not apply to any property determined by the court to be exempt.
12     (m)   The judgment or balance due on the judgment becomes a
13 lien when a citation is served in accordance with subsection
14 (a) of this Section. The lien binds nonexempt personal
15 property, including money, choses in action, and effects of the
16 judgment 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
27     debtor and comes into the possession or control of the
28     third party to the time of the disposition of the citation.
29     The lien established under this Section does not affect the
30 rights of citation respondents in property prior to the service
31 of the citation upon them and does not affect the rights of
32 bona fide purchasers or lenders without notice of the citation.
33 The lien is effective for the period specified by Supreme Court
34 Rule.
35     This subsection (m), as added by Public Act 88-48, is a
36 declaration of existing law.

1     (n) If any provision of this Act or its application to any
2 person or circumstance is held invalid, the invalidity of that
3 provision or application does not affect the provisions or
4 applications of the Act that can be given effect without the
5 invalid provision or application.

10 maximum wages, salary, commissions and bonuses subject to
11 collection under a deduction order, for any work week shall not
12 exceed the lesser of (1) 15% of such gross amount paid for that
13 week or (2) the amount by which disposable earnings for a week

17 January 1, 2006, the minimum hourly wage prescribed by Section
18 4 of the Minimum Wage Law, whichever is greater, in effect at
19 the time the amounts are payable. This provision (and no other)
20 applies irrespective of the place where the compensation was
21 earned or payable and the State where the employee resides. No
22 amounts required by law to be withheld may be taken from the
23 amount collected by the creditor. The term "disposable
24 earnings" means that part of the earnings of any individual
25 remaining after the deduction from those earnings of any
26 amounts required by law to be withheld.
