(735 ILCS 5/4-126) (from Ch. 110, par. 4-126)
Sec. 4-126.
Summoning garnishees.
The sheriff or any other person authorized
to serve
summons shall, in like manner as summons are served in ordinary
civil cases, summon, wherever they may be found in the State, the
persons mentioned in such order for attachment as garnishees and all other
persons whom the creditor shall designate as having any property,
effects, choses in action or credits in their possession or power,
belonging to the defendant, or who are in anyway indebted to such
defendant, the same as if their names had been inserted in such order
for attachment.
The persons so summoned shall be considered as garnishees. The return
shall state the names of all persons so summoned, and the date of such
service on each.
Persons summoned as garnishees shall thereafter hold any property,
effects, choses in action or credits in their possession or power
belonging to the defendant which are not exempt, subject to the court's
order in such proceeding, and shall not pay to the defendant any
indebtedness owed to him or her subject to such order, and such property,
effects, choses in action, credits and debts shall be considered to have
been attached and the plaintiff's claim to have become a lien thereon
pending such action.
