2 Be it enacted by the People of the State of Illinois,
3 represented in the General Assembly:
4 Section 5. The Frauds Act is amended by changing
5 Section 2 as follows:
6 (740 ILCS 80/2) (from Ch. 59, par. 2)
7 Sec. 2. No action shall be brought to charge any person
8 upon any conveyance or contract for the sale of lands,
9 tenements or hereditaments or any interest in or concerning
10 them, for a longer term than one year, unless such conveyance
11 or contract or some memorandum or note thereof shall be in
12 writing, and signed by the party to be charged therewith, or
13 some other person thereunto by him lawfully authorized in
14 writing, signed by such party. This Section shall not apply
15 to sales for the enforcement of a judgment for the payment of
16 money or sales by any officer or person pursuant to a
17 judgment or order of any court in this State. This amendatory
18 Act of 1999 is declaratory of existing law and is intended
19 to remove possible ambiguities, thereby confirming the
20 existing meaning of the Frauds Act in effect before the
21 effective date of this amendatory Act of 1999.
