AN ACT concerning courts.

Be it enacted by the People of the State of Illinois,
|
represented in the General Assembly:
|
Section 5. The Clerks of Courts Act is amended by adding |
Section 12.1 as follows:
|
(705 ILCS 105/12.1 new) |
Sec. 12.1. Electronic notice. The circuit clerk may provide |
notice to a party by hard copy or by electronic notice, |
pursuant to a uniform and standard policy adopted by the |
circuit clerk. A recipient may elect to receive notices by hard |
copy or electronically via the electronic address he or she has |
registered with the circuit clerk. The clerk must provide |
notice in the format chosen by the recipient. When providing |
notice electronically, the circuit clerk shall maintain a copy |
of the electronic content and a delivery receipt as part of the |
records of his or her office. Administrative communications of |
either the clerk or the court are not subject to the electronic |
notice requirements. If all policies and statutes are complied |
with, electronic notices shall have the same effect as hard |
copy notices.
|
Section 99. Effective date. This Act takes effect upon |
becoming law.
