## Summary

Amends the Eviction Article of the Code of Civil Procedure. Requires dismissal of a complaint in its entirety against all defendants if the complaint names a defendant who is a minor at the time of filing or was a minor at the time that the lease agreement at issue was entered. Provides that such an action shall be immediately sealed. Provides that, in addition to any other remedies available to the minor, a minor named as a defendant in violation of the Act is entitled to reasonable attorney's fees, actual damages, and liquidated damages in the amount of $1,000. Provides that nothing in the Act prohibits a party from refiling an action against any defendants who otherwise may be properly named. Provides that, upon dismissing the case, the court may not waive any fees associated with refiling the action against defendants otherwise properly named.

## Bill overview: provisions PRIA read

- Minors gain protections against eviction lawsuits: benefit, medium. Illinois bans naming people under 18 as eviction defendants, except emancipated minors with mature-minor rights under state law. If a minor is named when the case is filed, the court must dismiss it against all defendants. Beginning August 1, 2022, the court must immediately seal the dismissed case…
- No fee waivers for eviction refilings: cost, low. After dismissal for naming a minor, a party refiling against properly named defendants must pay the applicable refiling fees. The court cannot waive those fees. The law does not state the fee amounts.
