 1        AN ACT to amend the Dance Studio Act by changing  Section
 2    7.
 3        Be  it  enacted  by  the People of the State of Illinois,
 4    represented in the General Assembly:
 5        Section 5.  The Dance Studio Act is amended  by  changing
 6    Section 7 as follows:
 7        (815 ILCS 610/7) (from Ch. 29, par. 50-7)
 8        Sec.  7.  Prohibited contract provisions. (a) (Blank). No
 9    contract for dance studio services shall require payment of a
10    total amount in excess of $2500, and every such contract must
11    so provide in writing.
12        (b)  No contract for dance studio services shall  require
13    payments  or  financing  over  a period in excess of one year
14    from the date the contract is entered  into,  nor  shall  the
15    term  of  any  such  contract  be measured by the life of the
16    customer.  The services to be rendered under the contract may
17    not extend over a period of more than  one year from the date
18    the parties enter into  the  contract.   Every  contract  for
19    dance  studio  services  shall  include these prohibitions in
20    writing.
21        (c)  No contract for dance studio services shall  require
22    or  entail  the  execution of any note by the customer which,
23    when separately negotiated, will cut off as to third  parties
24    any  right  of  action or defense which the customer may have
25    against the dance studio.  No  right  of  action  or  defense
26    arising out of a contract for dance studio services which the
27    customer   has  against  the  studio  shall  be  cut  off  by
28    assignment of  the  contract  whether  or  not  the  assignee
29    acquires  the  contract in good faith and for value.  Such an
30    assignee is not a holder in due course.
