AN ACT concerning civil law.
|
Be it enacted by the People of the State of Illinois,
|
represented in the General Assembly:
|
Section 5. The Code of Civil Procedure is amended by |
changing Section 2-1101 as follows:
|
(735 ILCS 5/2-1101) (from Ch. 110, par. 2-1101)
|
Sec. 2-1101. Subpoenas. The clerk of any court in which an |
action is pending shall, from time
to time, issue subpoenas for |
those witnesses and to those counties in
the State as may be |
required by either party. Every clerk who shall
refuse so to do |
shall be guilty of a petty offense and fined any sum not
to |
exceed $100. An attorney admitted to practice in the State of |
Illinois, as an officer of the court, may also issue subpoenas |
on behalf of the court for witnesses and to counties in a |
pending action. An order of court is not required to obtain the |
issuance
by the clerk or by an attorney of a subpoena duces |
tecum. For good cause shown, the court
on motion may quash or |
modify any subpoena or, in the case of a subpoena
duces tecum, |
condition the denial of the motion upon payment in advance
by |
the person in whose behalf the subpoena is issued of the |
reasonable
expense of producing any item therein specified.
|
In the event that a party has subpoenaed an expert witness |
including,
but not limited to physicians or medical providers, |
