Information maintained by the Legislative Reference Bureau
Updating the database of the Illinois Compiled Statutes (ILCS) is an ongoing process. Recent laws may not yet be included in the ILCS database, but they are found on this site as Public Acts soon after they become law. For information concerning the relationship between statutes and Public Acts, refer to the Guide.

Because the statute database is maintained primarily for legislative drafting purposes, statutory changes are sometimes included in the statute database before they take effect. If the source note at the end of a Section of the statutes includes a Public Act that has not yet taken effect, the version of the law that is currently in effect may have already been removed from the database and you should refer to that Public Act to see the changes made to the current law.

    (770 ILCS 105/4.1)
    Sec. 4.1. Possession of special tool. If the toolmaker has not been paid the amount claimed in the notice within 90 days after the initial notice is received by the customer and by the processor, the toolmaker has a right to possession of the special tool and may do the following:
        (1) enforce the right to possession of the special
    
tool by judgement, foreclosure, or any available judicial procedure;
        (2) commence a civil action in circuit court to
    
enforce the lien, including by obtaining a judgment for the amount owed and a judgment permitting the special tool to be sold at an execution sale;
        (3) take possession of the special tool, if
    
possession without judicial process can be done without breach of the peace; and
        (4) sell the special tool in a public auction.
    A toolmaker that suffers damages under this Act may obtain appropriate legal and equitable relief, including damages, in a civil action. The court shall award the toolmaker that is the prevailing party reasonable attorney's fees, court costs, and expenses related to enforcement of the lien.
