Bill Title: Amends the Code of Civil Procedure. In a provision concerning a counterclaim or set-off, provides that a defendant may plead a set-off or counterclaim barred by the statute of limitation or the statute of repose (rather than only the statute of limitation), while held and owned by him or her, to any action, the cause of which was owned by the plaintiff or person under whom he or she claims, before such set-off or counterclaim was so barred, and not otherwise. Provides that the changes made to this provision apply to claims initiated on or after the effective date of the amendatory Act and to claims intentionally filed to preclude a defendant a reasonable opportunity to file a counterclaim within the original limitation period. Effective immediately.
