Full Text of 735 ILCS 5/9-109.6
Plain-English Summary
Rather than leave the form of a residential eviction order to each circuit or judge, this section mandates a single statewide form, determined by the Illinois Supreme Court.
Consistency is the point: the same standardized order is used across every county, for courts, landlords, and tenants alike, and for the sheriffs who carry those orders out, including under the 120-day enforcement window in Section 9-117.
