for conversion or | 2 |

| (d) No order or judgment shall be entered under subsection | 2 |
| (c) in favor of
the judgment creditor unless there appears of | 3 |
| record a certification of
mailing showing that a copy of the | 4 |
| citation and a copy of the citation notice
was mailed to the | 5 |
| judgment debtor as required by subsection (b).
| 6 |
| (e) All property ordered to be delivered up shall, except | 7 |

otherwise provided in this Section, be delivered to the | 8 |
| sheriff to be
collected by the sheriff or sold at public sale | 9 |
| and the proceeds thereof
applied towards the payment of costs | 10 |
| and the satisfaction of the judgment. If the judgment debtor's | 11 |
| property is of such a nature that it is not readily delivered | 12 |
| up to the sheriff for public sale or if another method of sale | 13 |
| is more appropriate to liquidate the property or enhance its | 14 |
| value at sale, the court may order the sale of such property by | 15 |
| the debtor, third party respondent, or by a selling agent other | 16 |
| than the sheriff upon such terms as are just and equitable. The | 17 |
| proceeds of sale, after deducting reasonable and necessary | 18 |
| expenses, are to be turned over to the creditor and applied to | 19 |
| the balance due on the judgment.
| 20 |
| (f) (1) The citation may prohibit the party to whom it is | 21 |
| directed from
making or allowing any transfer or other | 22 |
| disposition of, or interfering with,
any property not | 23 |
| exempt from the enforcement of a judgment therefrom, a
| 24 |
| deduction order or garnishment, belonging to the judgment | 25 |
| debtor or to which he
or she may be entitled or which may | 26 |
| thereafter be acquired by or become due to
him or her, and |

| from paying over or otherwise disposing of any moneys not | 2 |
| so
exempt which are due or to become due to the judgment | 3 |
| debtor, until the further
order of the court or the | 4 |
| termination of the proceeding, whichever occurs
first. The | 5 |
| third party may not be obliged to withhold the payment of | 6 |
| any
moneys beyond double the amount of the balance due | 7 |
| sought to be enforced by the
judgment creditor. The court | 8 |
| may punish any party who violates the restraining
provision | 9 |
| of a citation as and for a contempt, or if the party is a | 10 |
| third party
may enter judgment against him or her in the | 11 |
| amount of the unpaid portion of
the judgment and costs | 12 |
| allowable under this Section, or in the amount of the
value | 13 |
| of the property transferred, whichever is lesser.
| 14 |
| (2) The court may enjoin any person, whether or not a | 15 |
| party to the
supplementary proceeding, from making or | 16 |
| allowing any transfer or other
disposition of, or | 17 |
| interference with, the property of the judgment
debtor not | 18 |
| exempt from the enforcement of a judgment, a deduction | 19 |
| order or
garnishment, or the property or debt not so exempt | 20 |
| concerning which any
person is required to attend and be | 21 |
| examined until further direction in the
premises. The | 22 |
| injunction order shall remain in effect until vacated by | 23 |
| the
court or until the proceeding is terminated, whichever | 24 |
| first occurs.

| credit or
effect discovered, or any interest therein, is |

|
| 1 |
| claimed by any person, the court
shall, as in garnishment | 2 |
| proceedings, permit or require the claimant to appear
and | 3 |
| maintain his or her right. The rights of the person cited
and | 4 |
| the rights of any adverse claimant shall be asserted and | 5 |
| determined
pursuant to the law relating to garnishment | 6 |
| proceedings.
| 7 |
| (h) Costs in proceedings authorized by this Section shall | 8 |
| be
allowed, assessed and paid in accordance with rules, | 9 |
| provided that if the
court determines, in its discretion, that | 10 |
| costs incurred by the judgment
creditor were improperly | 11 |
| incurred, those costs shall be paid by the judgment
creditor.
| 12 |
| (i) This Section is in addition to and does not affect
| 13 |
| enforcement of judgments or proceedings supplementary thereto, | 14 |
| by any other
methods now or hereafter provided by law.
| 15 |
| (j) This Section does not grant the power to any court to | 16 |
| order
installment or other payments from, or compel the sale, | 17 |
| delivery,
surrender, assignment or conveyance of any property | 18 |
| exempt by statute
from the enforcement of a judgment thereon, a | 19 |
| deduction order, garnishment,
attachment, sequestration, | 20 |
| process or other levy or seizure.
| 21 |
| (k) (Blank).
| 22 |
| (k-5) If the court determines that any property held by a | 23 |
| third party respondent is wages pursuant to Section 12-801, the | 24 |
| court shall proceed as if a wage deduction proceeding had been | 25 |
| filed and proceed to enter such necessary and proper orders as | 26 |
| would have been entered in a wage deduction proceeding |
|

| including but not limited to the granting of the statutory | 2 |
| exemptions allowed by Section 12-803 and all other remedies | 3 |
| allowed plaintiff and defendant pursuant to Part 8 of Article | 4 |
| 12 of this Act.
| 5 |
| (l) At any citation hearing at which the judgment debtor | 6 |
| appears and seeks
a declaration that certain of his or her | 7 |
| income or assets are exempt, the court
shall proceed to | 8 |
| determine whether the property which the judgment debtor
| 9 |
| declares to be exempt is exempt from judgment. At any time | 10 |
| before the return
date specified on the citation, the judgment | 11 |
| debtor may request, in writing, a
hearing to declare exempt | 12 |
| certain income and assets by notifying the clerk of
the court | 13 |
| before that time, using forms as may be provided by the clerk | 14 |
| of the
court. The clerk of the court will obtain a prompt | 15 |
| hearing date from the
court and will provide the necessary | 16 |
| forms that must be prepared by the
judgment debtor or the | 17 |
| attorney for the judgment debtor and sent to the
judgment | 18 |
| creditor, or the judgment creditor's attorney, regarding the | 19 |
| time and
location of the hearing. This notice may be sent by | 20 |
| regular first class mail.
At the hearing, the court shall | 21 |
| immediately, unless for good cause shown that
the hearing is to | 22 |
| be continued, shall proceed to determine whether the property
| 23 |
| which the judgment debtor declares to be exempt is exempt from | 24 |
| judgment. The
restraining provisions of subsection (f) shall | 25 |
| not apply to any property
determined by the court to be exempt.
| 26 |

| (a) of this Section. The lien
binds nonexempt personal | 3 |
| property, including money, choses in action, and
effects of the | 4 |
| judgment debtor as follows:

| 17 |
| The lien established under this Section does not affect the | 18 |
| rights of

| bona fide purchasers or lenders without
notice of the citation. | 21 |
| The lien is effective for the period specified by
Supreme Court | 22 |
| Rule.
| 23 |
| This subsection (m), as added by Public Act 88-48, is a | 24 |
| declaration of
existing law.

| Sec. 12-904. Release, waiver or conveyance. No release, | 4 |
| waiver or conveyance of the estate so exempted shall be
valid, | 5 |
| unless the same is in writing, signed by the individual
and his
| 6 |
| or her spouse, if he or she have one, or possession is | 7 |
| abandoned or
given pursuant to the conveyance; or if the | 8 |
| exception is continued to a
child or children without the order | 9 |
| of a court directing a release
thereof; but if a conveyance is | 10 |
| made by an individual
as grantor to his
or her spouse, such | 11 |
| conveyance shall be effectual to pass the title
expressed | 12 |
| therein to be conveyed thereby, whether or not the grantor in
| 13 |
| such conveyance is joined therein by his or her spouse.
In any | 14 |
| case
where such release, waiver or conveyance is taken by way | 15 |
| of
mortgage or security, the same shall only be operative as to | 16 |
| such
specific release, waiver or conveyance; and when the same | 17 |
| includes
different pieces of land, or the homestead is of | 18 |
| greater value than $30,000 or $45,000 for a person age 65 or | 19 |
| older
$15,000 , the other lands shall first be sold before | 20 |
| resorting to
the
homestead, and in case of the sale of such | 21 |
| homestead, if any balance
remains after the payment of the debt | 22 |
| and costs, such balance
shall, to the extent of $30,000 or | 23 |
| $45,000 for a person age 65 or older $15,000 be exempt, and be | 24 |
| applied upon
such
homestead exemption in the manner provided by | 25 |

the commissioners summoned. The officer shall not | 20 |
| be required
to summon commissioners until the judgment | 21 |
| creditor, or some one for him
or her, shall advance to the | 22 |
| officer one day's fees for the commissioners,
and unless the | 23 |
| creditor shall advance such fees the officer shall not be
