Synopsis of Bill as introduced:
        Creates the Illinois Fair Bargain Act of 2001. Provides that a         
   clause in a standard form contract or lease that modifies or limits         
   procedural rights necessary or useful to a consumer, borrower, tenant,      
   or employee in the enforcement of substantive rights against a party        
   drafting  the  standard form contractor lease is unconscionable and is      
   voidable by the consumer, borrower,  tenant,  or  employee.   Provides      
   that  a  court, upon request of a party to the contract or lease, must

   provision.  Provides exemptions.                                            
          JUDICIAL NOTE (Office of the Illinois Courts)                        
          HB 573 would neither decrease nor increase the number of             
          judges needed in the State.                                          
          FISCAL NOTE (Office of the Illinois Courts)                          
          HB 573 would have no fiscal impact on the judicial branch of         
          government.

          In the opinion of the Department of Commerce and Community
