Public Act 101-0191 Summary

• Renames "supplementary proceedings" to "citations to discover assets" throughout the Code of Civil Procedure for clarity and consistency in judgment enforcement procedures.

• Requires judgment creditors to serve judgment debtors with an Income and Asset Form when issuing citations, allowing debtors time to prepare and claim exemptions before hearings.

• Extends summons return dates from 21-30 days to 21-40 days in garnishment and wage deduction proceedings to provide additional time for service and preparation.

• Requires that payment orders in citation proceedings against natural persons can only be entered after the Income and Asset Form is served, the debtor has opportunity to assert exemptions, and payments come from non-exempt sources.

• Establishes that citations create liens on judgment debtor's non-exempt personal property upon service, with liens surviving termination of citation proceedings similar to real property judgment liens.
