(735 ILCS 5/5-104) (from Ch. 110, par. 5-104)
Sec. 5-104.
Events after filing action.
If at any time after the commencement
of any action by a
resident of this state, he or she becomes non-resident; or if in any case
the court is satisfied that any plaintiff is unable to pay the
costs of the action, or that he or she is so unsettled as to endanger the officers of
the court with respect to their legal claims, it shall be the duty of
the court, on motion of the defendant or any officer of the court, to
order the plaintiff, on or before a day in such order stated, to give
security for the payment of costs in such action. If such plaintiff
neglects or refuses, on or before the day in such order stated, to file
a written
instrument of some responsible person, being a resident of
this state, whereby he or she shall bind himself or herself to pay all costs which have
accrued, or may accrue in such action, the court shall, on motion,
dismiss the action. The defendant or officer making such
motion shall file therewith his or her affidavit, or the affidavit of some
credible person, stating that he or she has reason to believe, and does
believe, that in case such action is prosecuted to a conclusion, a
judgment will be entered against such plaintiff for such costs.
