(820 ILCS 405/2500) (from Ch. 48, par. 740)
Sec. 2500.
Director not required to pay costs.
Neither the Director nor the State of Illinois shall be required to
furnish any bond, or to make a deposit for or pay any costs of any court or
the fees of any of its officers in any judicial proceedings
in
pursuance to the provisions of this Act; provided, further, that whenever
enforcement or collection of any judgment liability
created by this Act, is levied by any sheriff or coroner upon any personal
property, and such property is claimed by any person other than the defendant
or is claimed by the defendant as exempt from levy
by virtue of the exemption laws of this State, then it shall be the duty of
the person making such claim to give notice in writing of his or her claim
and of his or her
intention to prosecute the same, to the sheriff or coroner within 10 days
after the making of the levy; on receiving such notice the sheriff or
coroner shall proceed in accordance with the provisions of Part 2 of Article
XII of the Code of Civil Procedure, as amended; the giving of such notice
within the 10 day period shall be a condition precedent to any judicial
action against the sheriff or coroner for wrongfully levying, seizing or
selling the property and any such person who fails to give such notice within
the time shall be forever barred from bringing any judicial action against
such sheriff or coroner for injury or damages to or conversion of the property.
