Illinois § 5-24003

§ 5-24003.

Petition; hearing. Whenever an examiner certifies that an applicant is entitled to the benefits of this Division, such examiner shall file a petition on behalf of such applicant in the circuit court, which petition shall set forth such facts as are necessary under this Division to give the court jurisdiction of the subject-matter thereof and a full statement of the financial condition of the applicant. The court shall set a day for a hearing on such petition which shall be not less than 3 nor more than 10 days after the date of the filing thereof. The court may require such persons as it deems necessary to appear and testify at any such hearing and may direct that process be issued requiring the attendance at such hearing of any such persons. If the applicant is too ill to be present in the court room at the time of such hearing, the court may, in its discretion, hold all or part of such hearing at the home of the applicant or at such other place wherein the applicant may be confined.
