Topic:
Post-judgment collection of debts
(Williams, D-Chicago; Haine, D-Alton) makes three changes to citations and body attachments. (1) It requires a citation to be served by personal service or abode service as provided in Supreme Court Rule 105 attaching a copy of the statutory Income and Asset Form created by this bill. (2) It prohibits a payment order from being issued against a person unless the form was served on the debtor, the debtor has an opportunity to assert exemptions, and the payments are from nonexempt sources. (3) No order of body attachment or other civil order for incarceration may be issued for a respondent on a charge of indirect civil contempt unless the respondent has first had an opportunity to appear in court to answer after personal service or abode service of notice as provided in Section 2-203. It exempts enforcement for a violation of a municipal ordinance. (See the June Illinois Bar Journal article by Adam W. Lasker that discusses this bill in more detail.) Effective July 25, 2012.
