          JUDICIAL NOTE (Office of the Illinois Courts)                        
          It has been determined that the bill would neither increase nor      
          decrease the number of judges needed in the State.                   
          HOUSING AFFORDABILITY IMPACT NOTE

   file a written petition with the clerk of the court  that  states  the      
   unknown  occupant's  legal claim for possession with 7 (rather than 5)      
   days of the date the  notice  is  posted  or  left  with  the  unknown      
   occupant, the unknown occupant shall be evicted from the premises.
