AN ACT concerning civil law.
Be it enacted by the People of the State of Illinois,
represented in the General Assembly:
Section 5. The Code of Civil Procedure is amended by
changing Sections 2-1602, 4-107, and 12-183 and by adding
Section 5-127 as follows:
(735 ILCS 5/2-1602)
Sec. 2-1602. Revival of judgment.
(a) A judgment may be revived by filing a petition to
revive the judgment in the seventh year after its entry, or in
the seventh year after its last revival, or in the twentieth
year after its entry, or at any other time within 20 years
after its entry if the judgment becomes dormant and by serving
the petition and entering a court order for revival as provided
in the following subsections. The provisions of this amendatory
Act of the 96th General Assembly are declarative of existing
law.
(b) A petition to revive a judgment shall be filed in the
original case in which the judgment was entered. The petition
shall include a statement as to the original date and amount of
the judgment, court costs expended, accrued interest, and
credits to the judgment, if any.
(c) Service of notice of the petition to revive a judgment

SB2845 Enrolled - 2 - LRB099 20073 HEP 44850 b
shall be made in accordance with Supreme Court Rule 106.
(d) An order reviving a judgment shall be for the original
amount of the judgment. The plaintiff may recover interest and
court costs from the date of the original judgment. Credits to
the judgment shall be reflected by the plaintiff in
supplemental proceedings or execution.
(e) If a judgment debtor has filed for protection under the
United States Bankruptcy Code and failed to successfully
adjudicate and remove a lien filed by a judgment creditor, then
the judgment may be revived only as to the property to which a
lien attached before the filing of the bankruptcy action.
(f) A judgment may be revived as to fewer than all judgment
debtors, and such order for revival of judgment shall be final,
appealable, and enforceable.
(g) This Section does not apply to a child support judgment
or to a judgment recovered in an action for damages for an
injury described in Section 13-214.1, which need not be revived
as provided in this Section and which may be enforced at any
time as provided in Section 12-108.
(h) If a judgment becomes dormant during the pendency of an
enforcement proceeding against wages under Part 14 of this
Article or under Article XII, the enforcement may continue to
conclusion without revival of the underlying judgment so long
as the enforcement is done under court supervision and includes
a wage deduction order or turn over order and is against an
employer, garnishee, or other third party respondent.

(735 ILCS 5/4-107) (from Ch. 110, par. 4-107)
Sec. 4-107. Bond. After Before the entry of an order for
attachment, as hereinabove stated, the court shall take bond
and sufficient security, payable to the People of the State of
Illinois, for the use of the person or persons interested in
the property attached, in double the sum sworn to be due,
conditioned for satisfying all costs which may be awarded to
such defendant, or to any others interested in the proceedings,
and all damages and costs which shall be recovered against the
plaintiff, for wrongfully obtaining the attachment order,
which bond, with affidavit of the party complaining, or his,
her or its agent or attorney, shall be filed in the court
entering the order for attachment. Every order for attachment
entered without a bond and affidavit taken, is hereby declared
illegal and void, and shall be dismissed. Nothing herein
contained shall be construed to require the State of Illinois,
or any Department of Government thereof, or any State officer,
to file a bond as plaintiff in any proceeding instituted under
Part 1 of Article IV of this Act.

Sec. 12-183. Release of judgment.
(a) Every judgment creditor, his or her assignee of record

instrument in writing releasing such judgment.
(b) If the judgment creditor, his or her assigns of record
or other legal representative to whom tender has been made of

judgment, the judgment debtor may petition the court in which
such judgment is of record, making tender therewith to the

judgment, for the use of the judgment creditor, his or her

attorney, assignee or other legal representative.

regardless of the nature of the order or judgment from which

SB2845 Enrolled - 6 - LRB099 20073 HEP 44850 b
relief is sought or of the proceeding in which it was entered.
There shall be no distinction between actions and other
proceedings, statutory or otherwise, as to availability of

agency receiving payments pursuant to the order. In the event
payments made pursuant to that order are not paid to the Clerk
of the Circuit Court or a State agency, then any judgment

authorized under Sections 2-203 and 2-208 of the Code of
Civil Procedure or under Supreme Court Rules 11 or 105(b).
(3) The Notice of Filing shall set forth the name and
address of the judgment debtor and the judgment creditor,
the court file number of the order giving rise to the
judgment and, in capital letters, the following statement:
YOU ARE HEREBY NOTIFIED THAT ON (insert date) THE
ATTACHED AFFIDAVIT WAS FILED IN THE OFFICE OF THE CLERK OF
