    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 2-1402, 2-1602, 12-101, 12-652, and by adding 
Section 12-112.5 as follows:
 



    (735 ILCS 5/2-1402)  (from Ch. 110, par. 2-1402)


    Sec. 2-1402. Supplementary proceedings. 

    (a) A judgment creditor, or his or her successor in 
interest when that
interest is made to appear of record, is 
entitled to prosecute supplementary
proceedings for the 
purposes of examining the judgment debtor or any other
person 
to discover assets or income of the debtor not exempt from the

enforcement of the judgment, a deduction order or garnishment, 
and of
compelling the application of non-exempt assets or 
income discovered toward the
payment of the amount due under 
the judgment.  A supplementary proceeding shall
be commenced by 
the service of a citation issued by the clerk.  The procedure

for conducting supplementary proceedings shall be prescribed 
by rules.  It is
not a prerequisite to the commencement of a 
supplementary proceeding that a
certified copy of the judgment 
has been returned wholly or partly unsatisfied.
All citations 
issued by the clerk shall have the following language, or

language substantially similar thereto, stated prominently on 
the front, in
capital letters: "YOUR FAILURE TO APPEAR IN COURT 
AS HEREIN DIRECTED MAY CAUSE
YOU TO BE ARRESTED AND BROUGHT 
BEFORE THE COURT TO ANSWER TO A CHARGE OF
CONTEMPT OF COURT, 
WHICH MAY BE PUNISHABLE BY IMPRISONMENT IN THE COUNTY JAIL."

The court shall not grant a continuance of the supplementary 
proceeding except
upon good cause shown.

    (b) Any citation served upon a judgment debtor or any other 
person shall
include a certification by the attorney for the 
judgment creditor or the
judgment creditor setting forth the 
amount of the judgment, the date of the
judgment, or its 
revival date, the balance due thereon, the name of the court,

and the number of the case, and a copy of the citation notice 
required by this
subsection.  Whenever a citation is served upon 
a person or party other than
the judgment debtor, the officer 
or person serving the citation shall send to
the judgment 
debtor, within three business days of the service upon the 
cited
party, a copy of the citation and the citation notice, 
which may be sent
by regular first-class mail to the judgment 
debtor's last known address.  In no
event shall a citation 
hearing be held sooner than five business days after the

mailing of the citation and citation notice to the judgment 
debtor, except by
agreement of the parties.  The citation notice 
need not be mailed to a
corporation, partnership, or 
association.  The citation notice shall be in
substantially the 
following form:

    NOTICE: The court has issued a citation against the person 
named above.  The
citation directs that person to appear in 
court to be examined for the purpose
of allowing the judgment 
creditor to discover income and assets belonging to
the 
judgment debtor or in which the judgment debtor has an 
interest.  The
citation was issued on the basis of a judgment 
against the judgment debtor in
favor of the judgment creditor 
in the amount stated above.  On or after the
court date stated 
above, the court may compel the application of any
discovered 
income or assets toward payment on the judgment.

    The amount of income or assets that may be applied toward 
the judgment is
limited by federal and Illinois law.  The 
JUDGMENT DEBTOR HAS THE RIGHT TO
ASSERT STATUTORY EXEMPTIONS 
AGAINST CERTAIN INCOME OR ASSETS OF THE JUDGMENT
DEBTOR WHICH 
MAY NOT BE USED TO SATISFY THE JUDGMENT IN THE AMOUNT STATED

ABOVE:


        (1) Under Illinois or federal law, the exemptions of 
    personal property
owned by the debtor include the debtor's 
    equity interest, not to exceed $4,000
in value, in any 
    personal property as chosen by the debtor; Social Security 
    and
SSI benefits; public assistance benefits; unemployment 
    compensation benefits;
worker's compensation benefits; 
    veteran's benefits; circuit breaker property
tax relief 
    benefits; the debtor's equity interest, not to exceed 
    $2,400 in
value, in any one motor vehicle, and the debtor's 
    equity interest, not to
exceed $1,500 in value, in any 
    implements, professional books, or tools of the
trade of 
    the debtor.


        (2) Under Illinois law, every person is entitled to an 
    estate in
homestead, when it is owned and occupied as a 
    residence, to the extent in value
of $15,000, which 
    homestead is exempt from judgment.


        (3) Under Illinois law, the amount of wages that may be 
    applied toward a
judgment is limited to the lesser of (i) 
    15% of gross weekly wages or (ii) the
amount by which 
    disposable earnings for a week exceed the total of 45 times 
    the
federal minimum hourly wage or, under a wage deduction 
    summons served on or after January 1, 2006, the Illinois 
    minimum hourly wage, whichever is greater.


        (4) Under federal law, the amount of wages that may be 
    applied toward a
judgment is limited to the lesser of (i) 
    25% of disposable earnings for a week
or (ii) the amount by 
    which disposable earnings for a week exceed 30 times the

    federal minimum hourly wage.


        (5) Pension and retirement benefits and refunds may be 
    claimed as exempt
under Illinois law.

    The judgment debtor may have other possible exemptions 
under the law.

    THE JUDGMENT DEBTOR HAS THE RIGHT AT THE CITATION HEARING 
TO DECLARE EXEMPT
CERTAIN INCOME OR ASSETS OR BOTH. The 
judgment debtor also has the right to
seek a declaration at an 
earlier date, by notifying the clerk in writing at
(insert 
address of clerk).  When so notified, the Clerk of the Court 
will
obtain a prompt hearing date from the court and will

provide the necessary forms that must be prepared by the 
judgment debtor or the
attorney for the judgment debtor and 
sent to the judgment creditor and the
judgment creditor's 
attorney regarding the time and location of the hearing.
This 
notice may be sent by regular first class mail."

    (c) When assets or income of the judgment debtor not exempt 
from
the satisfaction of a judgment, a deduction order or 
garnishment are
discovered, the court may, by appropriate order 
or judgment:


        (1) Compel the judgment debtor to deliver up, to be 
    applied in
satisfaction of the judgment, in whole or in 
    part, money, choses in
action, property or effects in his 
    or her possession or control, so discovered,
capable of 
    delivery and to which his or her title or right of 
    possession is not
substantially disputed.


        (2) Compel the judgment debtor to pay to the judgment 
    creditor or
apply on the judgment, in installments, a 
    portion of his or her income, however
or whenever earned or 
    acquired, as the court may deem proper, having due
regard 
    for the reasonable requirements of the judgment debtor and 
    his or her
family, if dependent upon him or her, as well as 
    any payments required to be
made by prior order of court or 
    under wage assignments outstanding; provided
that the 
    judgment debtor shall not be compelled to pay income which 
    would be
considered exempt as wages under the Wage 
    Deduction Statute. The court may
modify an order for 
    installment payments, from time to time, upon application

    of either party upon notice to the other.


        (3) Compel any person cited, other than the judgment 
    debtor, to
deliver up any assets so discovered, to be 
    applied in satisfaction of
the judgment, in whole or in 
    part, when those assets are held under such
circumstances 
    that in an action by the judgment debtor he or she could 
    recover
them in specie or obtain a judgment for the 
    proceeds or value thereof as
for conversion or 
    embezzlement. A judgment creditor may recover a corporate 
    judgment debtor's property on behalf of the judgment debtor 
    for use of the judgment creditor by filing an appropriate 
    petition within the citation proceedings.



        (4) Enter any order upon or judgment against the person 
    cited that
could be entered in any garnishment proceeding.


        (5) Compel any person cited to execute an assignment of 
    any chose in
action or a conveyance of title to real or 
    personal property or resign memberships in exchanges, 
    clubs, or other entities in the
same manner and to the same 
    extent as a court could do in any proceeding
by a judgment 
    creditor to enforce payment of a judgment or in aid of
the 
    enforcement of a judgment.


        (6) Authorize the judgment creditor to maintain an 
    action against
any person or corporation that, it appears 
    upon proof satisfactory to
the court, is indebted to the 
    judgment debtor, for the recovery of the
debt, forbid the 
    transfer or other disposition of the debt until an
action 
    can be commenced and prosecuted to judgment, direct that 
    the
papers or proof in the possession or control of the 
    debtor and necessary
in the prosecution of the action be 
    delivered to the creditor or
impounded in court, and 
    provide for the disposition of any moneys in
excess of the 
    sum required to pay the judgment creditor's judgment and

    costs allowed by the court.

    (d) No order or judgment shall be entered under subsection 
(c) in favor of
the judgment creditor unless there appears of 
record a certification of
mailing showing that a copy of the 
citation and a copy of the citation notice
was mailed to the 
judgment debtor as required by subsection (b).

    (e) All property ordered to be delivered up shall, except 
as
otherwise provided in this Section, be delivered to the 
sheriff to be
collected by the sheriff or sold at public sale 
and the proceeds thereof
applied towards the payment of costs 
and the satisfaction of the judgment. If the judgment debtor's 
property is of such a nature that it is not readily delivered 
up to the sheriff for public sale or if another method of sale 
is more appropriate to liquidate the property or enhance its 
value at sale, the court may order the sale of such property by 
the debtor, third party respondent, or by a selling agent other 
than the sheriff upon such terms as are just and equitable. The 
proceeds of sale, after deducting reasonable and necessary 
expenses, are to be turned over to the creditor and applied to 
the balance due on the judgment.



    (f) (1) The citation may prohibit the party to whom it is 
    directed from
making or allowing any transfer or other 
    disposition of, or interfering with,
any property not 
    exempt from the enforcement of a judgment therefrom, a

    deduction order or garnishment, belonging to the judgment 
    debtor or to which he
or she may be entitled or which may 
    thereafter be acquired by or become due to
him or her, and 
    from paying over or otherwise disposing of any moneys not 
    so
exempt which are due or to become due to the judgment 
    debtor, until the further
order of the court or the 
    termination of the proceeding, whichever occurs
first.  The 
    third party may not be obliged to withhold the payment of 
    any
moneys beyond double the amount of the balance due 
    sought to be enforced by the
judgment creditor.  The court 
    may punish any party who violates the restraining
provision 
    of a citation as and for a contempt, or if the party is a 
    third party
may enter judgment against him or her in the 
    amount of the unpaid portion of
the judgment and costs 
    allowable under this Section, or in the amount of the
value 
    of the property transferred, whichever is lesser.


        (2) The court may enjoin any person, whether or not a 
    party to the
supplementary proceeding, from making or 
    allowing any transfer or other
disposition of, or 
    interference with, the property of the judgment
debtor not 
    exempt from the enforcement of a judgment, a deduction 
    order or
garnishment, or the property or debt not so exempt 
    concerning which any
person is required to attend and be 
    examined until further direction in the
premises.  The 
    injunction order shall remain in effect until vacated by 
    the
court or until the proceeding is terminated, whichever 
    first occurs.

    (g) If it appears that any property, chose in action, 
credit or
effect discovered, or any interest therein, is 
claimed by any person, the court
shall, as in garnishment 
proceedings, permit or require the claimant to appear
and 
maintain his or her right.  The rights of the person cited
and 
the rights of any adverse claimant shall be asserted and 
determined
pursuant to the law relating to garnishment 
proceedings.

    (h) Costs in proceedings authorized by this Section shall 
be
allowed, assessed and paid in accordance with rules, 
provided that if the
court determines, in its discretion, that 
costs incurred by the judgment
creditor were improperly 
incurred, those costs shall be paid by the judgment
creditor.

    (i) This Section is in addition to and does not affect

enforcement of judgments or proceedings supplementary thereto, 
by any other
methods now or hereafter provided by law.

    (j) This Section does not grant the power to any court to 
order
installment or other payments from, or compel the sale, 
delivery,
surrender, assignment or conveyance of any property 
exempt by statute
from the enforcement of a judgment thereon, a 
deduction order, garnishment,
attachment, sequestration, 
process or other levy or seizure.

    (k) (Blank).

    (k-5) If the court determines that any property held by a 
third party respondent is wages pursuant to Section 12-801, the 
court shall proceed as if a wage deduction proceeding had been 
filed and proceed to enter such necessary and proper orders as 
would have been entered in a wage deduction proceeding 
including but not limited to the granting of the statutory 
exemptions allowed by Section 12-803 and all other remedies 
allowed plaintiff and defendant pursuant to Part 8 of Article 
12 of this Act.

    (k-10)  If a creditor discovers personal property of the 
judgment debtor that is subject to the lien of a citation to 
discover assets, the creditor may have the court impress a lien 
against a specific item of personal property, including a 
beneficial interest in a land trust.  The lien survives the 
termination of the citation proceedings and remains as a lien 
against the personal property in the same manner that a 
judgment lien recorded against real property pursuant to 
Section 12-101 remains a lien on real property. If the judgment 
is revived before dormancy, the lien shall remain. A lien 
against personal property may, but need not, be recorded in the 
office of the recorder or filed as an informational filing 
pursuant to the Uniform Commercial Code. 
    (l) At any citation hearing at which the judgment debtor 
appears and seeks
a declaration that certain of his or her 
income or assets are exempt, the court
shall proceed to 
determine whether the property which the judgment debtor

declares to be exempt is exempt from judgment.  At any time 
before the return
date specified on the citation, the judgment 
debtor may request, in writing, a
hearing to declare exempt 
certain income and assets by notifying the clerk of
the court 
before that time, using forms as may be provided by the clerk 
of the
court.  The clerk of the court will obtain a prompt 
hearing date from the
court and will provide the necessary 
forms that must be prepared by the
judgment debtor or the 
attorney for the judgment debtor and sent to the
judgment 
creditor, or the judgment creditor's attorney, regarding the 
time and
location of the hearing.  This notice may be sent by 
regular first class mail.
At the hearing, the court shall 
immediately, unless for good cause shown that
the hearing is to 
be continued, shall proceed to determine whether the property

which the judgment debtor declares to be exempt is exempt from 
judgment.  The
restraining provisions of subsection (f) shall 
not apply to any property
determined by the court to be exempt.

    (m) The judgment or balance due on the judgment becomes a 
lien when a
citation is served in accordance with subsection 
(a) of this Section.  The lien
binds nonexempt personal 
property, including money, choses in action, and
effects of the 
judgment debtor as follows:


        (1) When the citation is directed against the judgment 
    debtor, upon all
personal property belonging to the 
    judgment debtor in the possession or control
of the 
    judgment debtor or which may thereafter be acquired or come 
    due to the
judgment debtor to the time of the disposition 
    of the citation.


        (2) When the citation is directed against a third 
    party, upon all personal
property belonging to the judgment 
    debtor in the possession or control of the
third party or 
    which thereafter may be acquired or come due the judgment 
    debtor
and comes into the possession or control of the 
    third party to the time of the
disposition of the citation.

    The lien established under this Section does not affect the 
rights of
citation respondents in property prior to the service 
of the citation upon them
and does not affect the rights of 
bona fide purchasers or lenders without
notice of the citation. 
The lien is effective for the period specified by
Supreme Court 
Rule.

    This subsection (m), as added by Public Act 88-48, is a 
declaration of
existing law.

    (n) If any provision of this Act or its application to any 
person or
circumstance is held invalid, the invalidity of that 
provision or application
does not affect the provisions or 
applications of the Act that can be given
effect without the 
invalid provision or application.

    (735 ILCS 5/2-1602)



    Sec. 2-1602. Revival of judgment. 

    (a) A judgment may be revived by filing a petition to 
revive the a judgment may be filed 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. 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 
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.

    (735 ILCS 5/12-101)  (from Ch. 110, par. 12-101)



    Sec. 12-101. Lien of judgment. With respect to the creation 
of liens on
real estate by judgments, all real estate in the 
State of Illinois is divided
into 2 classes.

    The first class consists of all real property, the title to 
which is
registered under "An Act concerning land titles", 
approved May 1, 1897,
as amended.

    The second class consists of all real property not 
registered under "An
Act concerning land titles".

    As to real estate in class one, a judgment is a lien on the

real estate of the person against whom it is entered for the 
same
period as in class two, when Section 85 of "An Act 
concerning land
titles", has been complied with.

    As to real estate included within class two, a judgment is 
a lien on the real
estate of the person against whom it is

entered in any county in this State, including the county in 
which it is
entered, only from the time a transcript, certified 
copy or memorandum of
the judgment is filed in the office of 
the recorder in the county in which
the real estate is located.

The lien may be foreclosed by an action brought in the name of 
the judgment
creditor or its assignee of record under Article 
XV in the same manner as a
mortgage of real property, except 
that the redemption period shall be 6 months
from the date of 
sale and the real estate homestead exemption under Section

12-901 shall apply.
A judgment resulting from the entry of an 
order requiring child support
payments shall be a lien upon the 
real estate of the person obligated to make
the child support 
payments, but shall not be enforceable in any county of this

State until a transcript, certified copy, or memorandum of the

lien is filed in the office of the recorder in the county in 
which the real
estate is located.
Any lien hereunder arising 
out of an order
for support shall be a lien only as to and from 
the time that an
installment or payment is due under the terms 
of the order.  Further, the
order for support shall not be a 
lien on real estate to the extent of
payments made as evidenced 
by the records of the Clerk of the Circuit Court
or State 
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 each lien imposed 
by this Section
may be released in the following manner:


        (a) A Notice of Filing and an affidavit stating that 
    all installments of
child support required to be paid 
    pursuant to the order under which the
lien or liens were 
    imposed have been paid shall be filed with the office of

    recorder in each county in which each such lien appears of 
    record, together
with proof of service of such notice and 
    affidavit upon the recipient of
such payments.


        (b) Service of such affidavit shall be by any means 
    authorized under
Sections 2-203 and 2-208 of the Code of 
    Civil Procedure or under Supreme
Court Rules 11 or 105(b).


        (c) 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 RECORDER 
    OF .... COUNTY, ILLINOIS,
WHOSE ADDRESS IS ........, 
    ILLINOIS.  IF, WITHIN 28 DAYS OF THE DATE OF
THIS NOTICE, 
    YOU FAIL TO FILE AN AFFIDAVIT OBJECTING TO THE RELEASE OF 
    THE
STATED JUDGMENT LIEN OR LIENS, IN THE ABOVE OFFICE, 
    SUCH JUDGMENT LIEN WILL
BE DEEMED TO BE RELEASED AND NO 
    LONGER SUBJECT TO FORECLOSURE.  THIS
RELEASE OF LIEN WILL 
    NOT ACT AS A SATISFACTION OF SUCH JUDGMENT.


        (d) If no affidavit objecting to the release of the 
    lien or liens is
filed within 28 days of the Notice 
    described in paragraph (c) of this
Section such lien or 
    liens shall be deemed to be released and no longer
subject 
    to foreclosure.

    A judgment is not a lien on real estate for longer than 7 
years from the
time it is entered or revived, unless the 
judgment is revived within 7 years
after its entry or last 
revival and a new memorandum of judgment is recorded prior to 
the judgment and its recorded memorandum of judgment becoming 
dormant filed before
the expiration of the prior memorandum of 
judgment.

    When a judgment is revived it is a lien on the real estate 
of
the person against whom it was entered in any county in this 
State from
the time a transcript, certified copy or memorandum 
of the order of
revival is filed in the office of the recorder 
in the county in
which the real estate is located.

    A foreign judgment registered pursuant to Sections 12-601 
through 12-618
of this Act is a lien upon the real estate of 
the person against whom it
was entered only from the time (1) a 
certified copy of the verified
petition for registration of the 
foreign judgment or (2) a transcript,
certified copy or 
memorandum of the final judgment of the court of this
State 
entered on that foreign judgment is filed in the office of the

recorder in the county in which the real estate is located. 
However, no
such judgment shall be a lien on any real estate 
registered under "An Act
concerning land titles", as amended, 
until Section 85 of that Act has been
complied with.

    The release of any transcript, certified copy or memorandum 
of judgment
or order of revival which has been recorded shall 
be filed by the person
receiving the release in the office of 
the recorder in which such
judgment or order has been recorded.

    Such release shall contain in legible letters a statement 
as follows:


        FOR THE PROTECTION OF THE OWNER, THIS RELEASE SHALL
BE 
    FILED WITH THE RECORDER OR THE REGISTRAR OF TITLES
IN WHOSE 
    OFFICE THE LIEN WAS FILED.

    The term "memorandum" as used in this Section means a 
memorandum or copy
of the judgment signed by a judge or a copy 
attested by the clerk of the
court entering it and showing the 
court in which entered,
date, amount, number of the case in 
which it was entered, name of the
party in whose favor and name 
and last known address of the party
against whom entered.  If 
the address of the party against whom the
judgment was entered 
is not known, the memorandum or copy of judgment
shall so 
state.

    The term "memorandum" as used in this Section also means a 
memorandum
or copy of a child support order signed by a judge 
or a copy attested by
the clerk of the court entering it or a 
copy attested by the administrative
body entering it.

    This Section shall not be construed as showing an intention 
of the
legislature to create a new classification of real 
estate, but shall be
construed as showing an intention of the 
legislature to continue a
classification already existing.

    (735 ILCS 5/12-112.5 new)
    Sec. 12-112.5. Charging orders.  If a statute or case 
requires or permits a judgment creditor to use the remedy of a 
charging order, said remedy may be brought and obtained by 
serving any of the various enforcement procedures set forth 
within this Article XII or by serving a citation pursuant to 
Section 2-1402. If the court does not otherwise have 
jurisdiction of the parties, the law relating to the type of

    Sec. 12-652. Filing and Status of Foreign Judgments. 

    (a) A
copy of any foreign judgment authenticated in 
accordance with the acts of
Congress or the statutes of this 
State may be filed in the office of the
circuit clerk for any 
county of this State.  The clerk shall treat the
foreign 
judgment in the same manner as a judgment of the circuit court 
for
any county of this State.  A judgment so filed has the same 
effect and is
subject to the same procedures, defenses and 
proceedings for reopening,
vacating, or staying as a judgment 
of a circuit court for any county of
this State and may be 
enforced or satisfied in like manner. A judgment filed or 
registered under this Act shall be  construed to be an original 
Illinois judgment from the date it is filed with the clerk of 
the circuit court and for purposes of enforcement and revival, 
shall be treated in exactly the same manner as an Illinois 
judgment entered on that same date. 

    (b) A foreign judgment or lien arising by operation of law, 
and resulting
from an order requiring child support payments 
shall be entitled to full faith
and credit in this State, shall 
be enforceable in the same manner as any
judgment or lien of 
this State resulting from an order requiring child support

payments, and shall not be required to be filed with the office 
of the circuit
clerk in any county of this State, except as 
provided for in Sections 10-25 and
10-25.5 of the Illinois 
Public Aid Code.

    (c) A foreign order of protection issued by the court of 
another state,
tribe, or
United States territory is entitled to 
full faith and credit in this State, is
enforceable in the same 
manner as any order of protection issued by a circuit
court for 
any county of this State, and may be filed with the circuit 
clerk in
any county of this State as provided in Section 222.5 
of the Illinois Domestic
Violence Act of 1986 or Section 22.5 
of the Code of Criminal Procedure of 1963.
 A
foreign order of 
protection shall not be required to be filed with the circuit

clerk to be entitled to full faith and credit in this State.
