13     Section 920. The Code of Civil Procedure is amended by
14 changing Section 15-1702 as follows:
 
15     (735 ILCS 5/15-1702)  (from Ch. 110, par. 15-1702)
16     Sec. 15-1702. Specific Rules of Possession. (a)
17 Mortgagee's Rights. No mortgagee shall be required to take
18 possession of the mortgaged real estate, whether upon
19 application made by any other party or otherwise. Whenever a
20 mortgagee entitled to possession so requests, the court shall
21 appoint a receiver. The failure of a mortgagee to request
22 possession or appointment of a receiver shall not preclude a

1 mortgagee otherwise entitled to possession from making such a
2 request at any future time. The appointment of a receiver shall
3 not preclude a mortgagee from thereafter seeking to exercise
4 such mortgagee's right to be placed in possession.
5     (b) Designation of Receivers. Whenever a receiver is to be
6 appointed, the mortgagee shall be entitled to designate the
7 receiver. If the mortgagee is a bank or trust, then the
8 mortgagee may only designate a foreclosed home receiver that is
9 licensed under the Foreclosed Home Receiver License Act. If the
10 mortgagor or any other party to the foreclosure objects to any
11 such designation or designations and shows good cause, or the
12 court disapproves the designee, then the mortgagee in such
13 instance shall be entitled to make another designation.
14     (c) Rights of Mortgagee Having Priority. If a mortgagee
15 having priority objects to the proposed possession by a
16 subordinate mortgagee or by a receiver designated by the
17 subordinate mortgagee, upon entry of a finding in accordance
18 with subsection (d) of Section 15-1702 the court shall instead
19 place that objecting mortgagee in possession or, if a receiver
20 is to be designated in accordance with subsection (b) of
21 Section 15-1702, allow the designation of the receiver to be
22 made by that objecting mortgagee.
23     (d) Removal of Mortgagee in Possession. A mortgagee placed
24 in possession shall not be removed from possession, and no
25 receiver or other mortgagee shall be placed in possession
26 except upon (i) the mortgagee's misconduct, death, legal

1 disability or other inability to act, (ii) appointment of a
2 receiver in accordance with subsection (a) of Section 15-1704
3 or (iii) a showing of good cause by a mortgagee having
4 priority. A receiver shall not be removed solely on account of
5 being designated by a mortgagee later determined not to have
6 priority.
7     (e) Determination of Priority. If the court is required to
8 determine priority for the purposes of subsection (c) of
9 Section 15-1702, a new determination shall be made each time a
10 mortgagee is to be placed in possession or a receiver is to be
11 appointed and shall be an interim determination which shall not
12 preclude the court from making a contrary determination later
13 in the foreclosure. If the court subsequently shall make such a
14 contrary determination, a mortgagee in possession or acting
15 receiver shall not be removed except in accordance with Part 17
16 of this Article.
17     (f) Rights to Crops. With respect to any crops growing or
18 to be grown on the mortgaged real estate, the rights of a
19 holder of any obligation secured by a collateral assignment of
20 beneficial interest in a land trust, the rights of a mortgagee
21 in possession, or the rights of a receiver, including rights by
22 virtue of an equitable lien, shall be subject to a security
23 interest properly perfected pursuant to Article 9 of the
24 Uniform Commercial Code, where the holder of a collateral
25 assignment, mortgagee in possession, or receiver becomes
26 entitled to crops by obtaining possession on or after the
