| AN ACT concerning civil law.
|
| 2 |
| Be it enacted by the People of the State of Illinois,
|
| 3 |
| represented in the General Assembly:
|
| 4 |
| Section 5. The Code of Civil Procedure is amended by |
| 5 |
| changing Section 2-1101 as follows:
|
| 6 |
| (735 ILCS 5/2-1101) (from Ch. 110, par. 2-1101)
|
| 7 |
| Sec. 2-1101. Subpoenas. The clerk of any court in which an |
| 8 |
| action is pending shall, from time
to time, issue subpoenas for |
| 9 |
| those witnesses and to those counties in
the State as may be |
| 10 |
| required by either party. Every clerk who shall
refuse so to do |
| 11 |
| shall be guilty of a petty offense and fined any sum not
to |
| 12 |
| exceed $100. An attorney admitted to practice in the State of |
| 13 |
| Illinois, as an officer of the court, may also issue subpoenas |
| 14 |
| on behalf of the court for witnesses and to counties in a |
| 15 |
| pending action. An order of court is not required to obtain the |
| 16 |
| issuance
by the clerk or by an attorney of a subpoena duces |
| 17 |
| tecum. For good cause shown, the court
on motion may quash or |
| 18 |
| modify any subpoena or, in the case of a subpoena
duces tecum, |
| 19 |
| condition the denial of the motion upon payment in advance
by |
| 20 |
| the person in whose behalf the subpoena is issued of the |
| 21 |
| reasonable
expense of producing any item therein specified.
|
| 22 |
| In the event that a party has subpoenaed an expert witness |
| 23 |
| including,
but not limited to physicians or medical providers, |
