AN ACT concerning civil law.
|
Be it enacted by the People of the State of Illinois,
|
represented in the General Assembly:
|
Section 5. The Controlled Substance and Cannabis Nuisance |
Act is amended by changing Section 3 as follows:
|
(740 ILCS 40/3) (from Ch. 100 1/2, par. 16)
|
Sec. 3. (a) The Department or the State's Attorney or any |
citizen of the
county in which a nuisance exists may file a |
complaint in the name of the
People of the State of Illinois, |
to enjoin all persons from maintaining or
permitting such |
nuisance, to abate the same and to enjoin the use of any
such |
place for the period of one year.
|
(b) Upon the filing of a complaint by the State's Attorney |
or the Department
in which the complaint states that |
irreparable injury, loss or damage will
result to the People of |
the State of Illinois, the court shall enter a
temporary |
restraining order without notice enjoining the maintenance of
|
such nuisance, upon testimony under oath, affidavit, or |
verified complaint
containing facts sufficient, if sustained, |
to justify the court in entering
a preliminary injunction upon |
a hearing after notice. Every such temporary
restraining order |
entered without notice shall be endorsed with the date
and hour |
of entry of the order, shall be filed of record, and shall
|
|
expire by its terms within such time after entry, not to exceed |
10 days as
fixed by the court, unless the temporary restraining |
order, for good cause is
extended for a like period or unless |
the party against whom the order is
directed consents that it |
may be extended for a longer period. The reason
for extension |
shall be shown in the order. In case a temporary restraining
|
order is entered without notice, the motion for a permanent |
injunction
shall be set down for hearing at the earliest |
possible time and takes
precedence over all matters except |
older matters of the same character, and
when the motion comes |
on for hearing, the Department or State's Attorney,
as the case |
may be, shall proceed with the application for a permanent
|
injunction, and, if he does not do so, the court shall dissolve |
the
temporary restraining order. On 2 days notice to the |
Department or State's
Attorney, as the case may be, the |
defendant may appear and move the
dissolution or modification |
of such temporary restraining order and in that
event the court |
shall proceed to hear and determine such motion as
|
expeditiously as the ends of justice require.
|
(c) Upon the filing of the complaint by a citizen or the |
Department or the
State's Attorney (in cases in which the |
Department or State's Attorney do
not request injunctive relief |
without notice) in the circuit court,
the court, if satisfied |
that the nuisance complained of
exists, shall allow a temporary |
restraining order, with bond unless the
application is filed by |
the Department or State's Attorney, in such amount
as the court |
|
may determine, enjoining the defendant from maintaining any
|
such nuisance within the jurisdiction of the court granting the |
injunctive
relief. However, no such injunctive relief shall be |
granted, except on
behalf of an owner or agent, unless it be |
made to appear to the
satisfaction of the court that the owner |
or agent of such place, knew or
had been personally served with |
a notice signed by the plaintiff and, that
such notice has been |
served upon such owner or such agent of such place at
least 5 |
days prior thereto, that such place, specifically describing |
the
same, was being so used, naming the date or dates of its |
being so used, and
that such owner or agent had failed to abate |
such nuisance, or that upon
diligent inquiry such owner or |
agent could not be found within Illinois for
the service of |
such preliminary notice. The lessee, if any, of such place
|
shall be made a party defendant to such petition. If the |
property owner is a corporation and the Department or the |
State's Attorney sends the preliminary notice to the corporate |
address registered with the Secretary of State, such action |
shall create a rebuttable presumption that the parties have |
acted with due diligence and the court may grant injunctive |
relief.
|
(d) In all cases in which the complaint is filed by a |
citizen, such
complaint shall be verified.
