(a) A judgment abstracted 1-8 after September 1, 1993, may not be recorded unless: 1-9 (1) a mailing address of each plaintiff or judgment 1-10 creditor appears on the Abstract of Judgment; or 1-11 (2) a penalty filing fee equal to the greater of 1-12 $25.00 or twice the statutory recording fee for the instrument is 1-13 paid. 1-14 (b) The validity of an abstracted judgment as between the 1-15 parties is not affected by a failure to include an address of each 1-16 judgment creditor in the abstracted judgment. 1-17 (c) Payment of a filing fee and acceptance of the abstract 1-18 of judgment by the County Clerk for recording each plaintiff or 1-19 judgment creditor. 1-20 SECTION 2. The importance of this legislation and the 1-21 crowded condition of the calendars in both houses create an 1-22 emergency and an imperative public necessity that the 1-23 constitutional rule requiring bills to be read on three several 2-1 days in each house be suspended, and this rule is hereby suspended, 2-2 and that this Act take effect and be in force from and after its 2-3 passage, and it is so enacted.
