Adds language providing that: a summons issued in an action against an individual defendant shall include an additional notice that includes a statement about the importance of obtaining legal advice and the availability of legal assistance, lawyer referral services, and court interpreters and other accommodations for individuals with disabilities; and in an action for damages against an individual defendant based on an assigned claim, the plaintiff shall also attach a notice that describes an assignment, the legal requirements for bringing an action based upon an assignment, the right to a copy of any assignment, and other matters.House Committee Amendment No. 2 Deletes reference to:735 ILCS 5/2-201Replaces everything after the enacting clause. Further amends the Code of Civil Procedure.

Provides that the provisions concerning exhibits to pleadings applies to all actions, including small claims. Provides that if a written assignment is recited in the complaint, a copy must be provided to the defendant upon request. Provides that the changes made apply to actions commenced on or after the effective date. 1/14/2010HouseFiled with the Clerk by Rep. Michael J.
