deed was issued less any mortgages or liens on the
property, and the award will not exceed $99,000. The Court
shall liberally construe this equitable entitlement

discretion of the Court, the equities warrant the action.
An owner of a property that contained 4 or less
dwelling units who requests an award in excess of $99,000
must prove that the loss of his or her property was not
attributable to his or her own fault or negligence before

court shall consider whether the owner exercised ordinary
reasonable diligence under all of the relevant
circumstances.

shall be reduced by the principal amount of all taxes paid
by the tax purchaser or his or her assignee before the

subject to a reduction by the amount of an outstanding
mortgage or lien on the property, other than the principal
amount of all taxes paid by the tax purchaser or his or her
assignee before the issuance of the tax deed and the
petitioner would be personally liable to the mortgagee or
lienholder for all or part of that reduction amount, the
court shall order an additional indemnity award to be paid
directly to the mortgagee or lienholder sufficient to
discharge the petitioner's personal liability. The court,
in its discretion, may order the joinder of the mortgagee
or lienholder as an additional party to the indemnity
action.

petitioner nor County Treasurer shall be entitled to trial
by jury on the issues presented in the petition. The Court
shall liberally construe this Section to provide

fund, shall be subrogated to all parties in whose favor
judgment may be rendered against him or her, and by third
party complaint may bring in as a defendant any person,

title, not a party to the action who is or may be liable to

petitioner's claim against him or her.
(c) Any contract involving the proceeds of a judgment for
indemnity under this Section, between the tax deed grantee or
its successors in title and the indemnity petitioner or his or
her successors, shall be in writing. In any action brought
under Section 21-305, the Collector shall be entitled to

Section 30. The Professional Service Corporation Act is
amended by changing Section 9 as follows:
(805 ILCS 10/9) (from Ch. 32, par. 415-9)
Sec. 9. A professional corporation shall adopt a name
consisting of the full or last name of one or more of its
shareholders; except that if not otherwise prohibited by law,
rules of a regulating authority or the canons of ethics of the

HB0055 - 22 - LRB096 02945 KTG 12959 b
profession concerned, a professional corporation may adopt a
fictitious name. If the corporation does adopt a fictitious
name or continues to use the name of a deceased shareholder,
the name of a member of a predecessor organization, it shall
file with the county clerk of the county where its principal
place of business is located, under the Assumed Business Name
Act "An Act in relation to the use of an assumed name in the
conduct or transaction of business in this State," approved
July 17, 1941, as now or hereafter amended. It shall be
permissible for a professional corporation to continue to use
the name of a deceased shareholder for a period of one year
after his death without recording the name of the corporation
with the county clerk as hereinabove provided. A professional
corporation may continue to use the name of a shareholder who
voluntarily withdraws from the corporation if the withdrawing
shareholder files with the regulating authority his written
permission for the continued use of his name by the
professional corporation. This permission shall remain in
effect until written revocation has been received by the
regulating authority from the former shareholder.
The corporate name shall end with the word "chartered" or
"Limited" or the abbreviation "Ltd.", or with the words
"Professional Corporation" or the abbreviation "Prof. Corp."
or the initials "P. C.".

HB0055 - 38 - LRB096 02945 KTG 12959 b
Your Consumer Rights.'" The contractor or his or her

"HOME REPAIR: KNOW YOUR CONSUMER RIGHTS
As you plan for your home repair/improvement project, it is
important to ask the right questions in order to protect your
investment. The tips in this fact sheet should allow you to
protect yourself and minimize the possibility that a
misunderstanding may occur.

HB0055 - 39 - LRB096 02945 KTG 12959 b
AVOIDING HOME REPAIR FRAUD
Please use extreme caution when confronted with the following
warning signs of a potential scam:
(1) Door-to-door salespersons with no local connections
who offer to do home repair work for substantially less than
the market price.
(2) Solicitations for repair work from a company that lists
only a telephone number or a post-office box number to contact,
particularly if it is an out-of-state company.
(3) Contractors who fail to provide customers references
when requested.
(4) Persons offering to inspect your home for free. Do not
admit anyone into your home unless he or she can present
authentic identification establishing his or her business
status. When in doubt, do not hesitate to call the worker's
employer to verify his or her identity.
(5) Contractors demanding cash payment for a job or who ask
you to make a check payable to a person other than the owner or
company name.
(6) Offers from a contractor to drive you to the bank to
withdraw funds to pay for the work.
CONTRACTS
(1) Get all estimates in writing.

HB0055 - 40 - LRB096 02945 KTG 12959 b
(2) Do not be induced into signing a contract by
high-pressure sales tactics.
(3) Never sign a contract with blank spaces or one you do
not fully understand. If you are taking out a loan to finance
the work, do not sign the contract before your lender approves
the loan.
(4) Remember, you have 3 business days from the time you
sign your contract to cancel any contract if the sale is made
at your home. The contractor cannot deprive you of this right
by initiating work, selling your contract to a lender, or any
other tactic.
(5) If the contractor does business under a name other than
the contractor's real name, the business must either be
incorporated or registered under the Assumed Business Name Act.
Check with the Secretary of State to see if the business is
incorporated or with the county clerk to see if the business
has registered under the Assumed Business Name Act.
(6) Homeowners should check with local and county units of
government to determine if permits or inspections are required.
(7) Determine whether the contractor will guarantee his or
her work and products.
(8) Determine whether the contractor has the proper
insurance.
(9) Do not sign a certificate of completion or make final
payment until the work is done to your satisfaction.
(10) Remember, homeowners should know who provides

HB0055 - 41 - LRB096 02945 KTG 12959 b
supplies and labor for any work performed on your home.
Suppliers and subcontractors have a right to file a lien
against your property if the general contractor fails to pay
them. To protect your property, request lien waivers from the
general contractor.
BASIC TERMS TO BE INCLUDED IN A CONTRACT
(1) Contractor's full name, address, and telephone number.
Illinois law requires that persons selling home repair and
improvement services provide their customers with notice of any
change to their business name or address that comes about prior
to the agreed dates for beginning or completing the work.
(2) A description of the work to be performed.
(3) Starting and estimated completion dates.
(4) Total cost of work to be performed.
(5) Schedule and method of payment, including down payment,
subsequent payments, and final payment.
(6) A provision stating the grounds for termination of the
contract by either party. However, the homeowner must pay the
contractor for work completed. If the contractor fails to
commence or complete work within the contracted time period,
the homeowner may cancel and may be entitled to a refund of any
down payment or other payments made towards the work, upon
written demand by certified mail.
Homeowners should obtain a copy of the signed contract and

HB0055 - 42 - LRB096 02945 KTG 12959 b
keep it in a safe place for reference as needed.
IF YOU THINK YOU HAVE BEEN DEFRAUDED OR YOU HAVE QUESTIONS
If you think you have been defrauded by a contractor or
have any questions, please bring it to the attention of your
State's Attorney or the Illinois Attorney General's Office.
