Creates a process in which a person is appointed by the court as the court's agent under the court's direction to take possession of, manage and, if authorized by the Act or court order, transfer, sell, lease, or otherwise dispose of receivership property. Provides criteria for a court to provide notice and opportunity for a hearing as appropriate before the court can issue an order under the Act. Applies to real property and any personal property related to or used in operating the real property, personal property and fixtures, and other business assets such as corporations, limited liability companies and trusts among other things. Provides that this Act does not apply to (i) an interest in real property improved by one to six dwelling units with some exceptions; (ii) a receiver that is a governmental unit or an individual acting in an official capacity on behalf of the governmental unit unless the unit elects for this Act to apply; and (iii) a receiver appointed under the Illinois Mortgage Foreclosure Law. Defines terms. Provides for the powers and duties of a receiver, disqualification of a receiver, the status of a receiver as lien holder, duties of an owner, powers of the court in managing a receivership, and defenses and immunities of a receiver. Makes other changes. ## Bill overview: provisions PRIA read - Qualifying renters keep primary-home lease protections: benefit, low. A receiver cannot reject an unexpired primary-home lease when someone other than a mortgage lender requested the receiver. When a mortgage lender requested appointment, the lease is protected if it ranks ahead of the mortgage. Protection also applies with an enforceable agreement against disturbanc… - Safeguards for property under court management: benefit, low. Receivers must swear they are eligible; specified conflicts, financial ties, sheriff service, or legal bars prevent appointment. Some unrelated work, nondefault personal debts, and deposit accounts alone do not disqualify them. Receivers generally must post a court-approved bond, though courts can… - Court permission required to sue receivers: cost, low. Parties need court approval to sue receivers or their hired professionals over administration of receivership property. A court order is also required to obtain evidence from the receiver about that administration. Receivers retain Illinois-law defenses and immunities for acts within their appointm… - Contract partners face court-approved contract changes: mixed, low. With court approval, receivers can keep or reject owners' contracts with remaining duties tied to receivership property. Unresolved contracts count as rejected when the receivership ends; rejection ends the receiver's use rights and counts as a breach immediately before appointment. Rejection-damag… - Creditors face deadlines for receivership payouts: mixed, low. Receivers must notify creditors and set a filing deadline at least 60 days after notice for claims arising before appointment. Claims must meet proof requirements; late claims cannot receive payouts unless the court orders otherwise. Claim transfers bind the receiver only with timely notice before… - Creditors face pauses on property collection: mixed, low. A receiver's appointment generally pauses actions to take or control the property, enforce judgments against it, or enforce preappointment liens. Applicable deadlines pause too, and courts can block related actions to protect the receivership. Exceptions include specified lien-perfection actions, c… - Lien priority shapes creditors' property payouts: mixed, low. Appointment gives receivers lien-creditor status over personal property and fixtures, affecting their standing against competing claims. For real estate, that status applies to parties with notice; recording extends the effect to others. Earlier security agreements still cover qualifying later-acqu… - New court control rules for property: mixed, low. The law sets rules for court-appointed receivers who manage property or businesses during legal disputes. It covers real estate, personal property, fixtures, and nonindividual entities, but excludes residential real estate and specified other proceedings. Exclusions include receiverships under spec… - Owners must surrender property and records: mixed, low. Owners must help the receiver, protect and turn over property, provide records and access information, and answer questions under oath when subpoenaed. Unless the court orders otherwise, property and creditor inventories are due within 14 days after appointment. Property lists include locations, li… - Receivers can run and sell property: mixed, low. Receivers can operate businesses, collect money, protect property, pursue claims, and incur ordinary-course debt. Major actions require court approval, including improvements, nonordinary borrowing, transfers, settlements, distributions, and abandoning burdensome or worthless property. New nonordin… - Receivership professional fees face court review: mixed, low. Receivers need court approval to hire lawyers, accountants, appraisers, brokers, and other professionals on reasonable terms. They must disclose each professional's qualifications, work, possible conflicts, and proposed pay. Reasonable interim payments can occur before approval, subject to court pr… ## Sponsors and cosponsors - Cosponsor: Camille Y.
