Introduced Text

Illinois HB4092 amends the Code of Civil Procedure to require proper notice to all parties and attorneys before applying for a waiver of court fees.

Illinois HB4092 amends the Code of Civil Procedure to revise the process for waiving court fees, costs, and charges. The bill mandates that any party seeking a waiver must provide proper notice to all other parties and attorneys of record before presenting the application to the court. The court cannot grant a waiver unless the applicant shows proof of this notice. The waiver does not automatically apply to attorney's fees and is distinct from the criteria for eligibility and application requirements.
