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.

820 ILCS 405/2403

    (820 ILCS 405/2403) (from Ch. 48, par. 723)
    Sec. 2403. Enforcement of lien. In addition and as an alternative to any other remedy provided by law, the Director may foreclose the lien created by Section 2400 by petition in the name of the People of the State of Illinois to the Circuit Court of the county wherein the property subject to the lien is situated, in the same manner as provided by law for the foreclosure of other liens, provided that no hearing or proceeding provided by this Act for the review of the liability for the payment of the sums secured by such lien is pending and the time for taking thereof has expired. The process, practice and procedure for such foreclosure shall be the same as provided in the Civil Practice Law, as amended, except that in all such cases, it shall not be necessary that the petition describe the property to which the lien has attached. The employer against whom such petition has been filed shall file in the proceedings a full and complete schedule, under oath, of all property and rights thereto which he owned at the time the contributions, upon which the lien sought to be foreclosed is based, became due, or which he subsequently acquired, and if such employer fails to do so after having been so ordered by the court, he may be punished as in other cases of contempt of court.
    The court in any proceeding commenced pursuant to the provisions of this Act may appoint a receiver with power to administer or liquidate the assets subject to the lien, pursuant to the order of the court.
    Upon sale of the above stated property, the proceeds shall be applied to the payment of the costs incurred in the proceedings, and the satisfaction of such liens as have attached to the property in the order of their priority; the balance, if any, shall be paid to such parties as the court shall find to be entitled thereto. The Director is hereby empowered to bid at any sale conducted pursuant to the provisions of this Act.
    The Director may also enforce the lien created by this Act to the same extent and in the same manner as is provided by the Retailers' Occupation Tax Act, as amended, for the enforcement of the lien created by that Act, except that, notwithstanding any provision of that Act to the contrary, the Director may also enforce the lien created by this Act by using designated agents to serve and enforce bank levies.
    The Director's rights to redemption from a judicial sale or a sale for the enforcement of a judgment, or a judgment satisfying indebtedness secured by a mortgage on, any real estate which is subject to a lien created by this Act, which is inferior to the lien enforced or foreclosed by such sale, or the lien securing the indebtedness satisfied, as the case may be, shall be the same as those of the Department of Revenue with reference to the lien created by the Retailers' Occupation Tax Act, and the procedure provided by law for the termination of the rights of redemption by the Department of Revenue shall be applicable to the termination of the rights of redemption of the Director. The statutory notice required to be served upon and endorsed by the Director of Revenue by the Retailers' Occupation Tax Act shall be served upon and endorsed by the Director.
