CIV PRO-REVIVE JUDGMENTS

Amends the Code of Civil Procedure. Provides that a petition to revive a judgment may be filed (instead of that a judgment may be revived) in the seventh year after its entry, in the seventh year after its last revival, or in the twentieth year after its entry (instead of only in the seventh year after its entry or in the seventh year after its last revival), or at any other time (instead of any other time thereafter) within 20 years after its entry if the judgment becomes dormant. Provides that a petition to revive a judgment may be filed no later than 20 years after the date of the judgment (instead of that judgments in a circuit court may be revived within 20 years next after date of entry of the judgment and not after). Eliminates a provision that designated provisions of the Code concerning reversal or dismissal of an action under Article XIII of the Code ("Real Actions") also apply to these provisions. Provides that these provisions are declarative of existing law. Effective immediately.
