Illinois General Assembly - Illinois Compiled Statutes

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.

(215 ILCS 5/531.18) (from Ch. 73, par. 1065.80-18)

Sec. 531.18. Stay of Proceedings - Reopening Default Judgments.)


All proceedings in which the insolvent insurer is a party in any court in this
State shall be stayed 180 days from the date an order of liquidation,
rehabilitation, or conservation is final to permit proper legal action by the
Association on any matters germane to its powers or duties.  As to a judgment under
any decision, order, verdict, or finding based on default the Association may apply
to have such judgment set aside by the same court that made such judgment and must
be permitted to defend against such suit on the merits.
