Sec. 21-103. Notice by publication.
(a) Previous notice shall be given of the intended

resides in a county with a population of 2,000,000 or more,
then in some newspaper published in the county where the person
resides, or if no newspaper is published in that county, then
in some convenient newspaper published in this State. The
notice shall be inserted for 3 consecutive weeks after filing,
the first insertion to be at least 6 weeks before the return
day upon which the petition is to be heard, and shall be signed
by the petitioner or, in case of a minor, the minor's parent or
guardian, and shall set forth the return day of court on which
the petition is to be heard and the name sought to be assumed.
(b) The publication requirement of subsection (a) shall not
be required in any application for a change of name involving a
minor if, before making judgment under this Article, reasonable
notice and opportunity to be heard is given to any parent whose
parental rights have not been previously terminated and to any
person who has physical custody of the child. If any of these
persons are outside this State, notice and opportunity to be
heard shall be given under Section 21-104.
(c) The Director of State Police or his or her designee may
apply to the circuit court for an order directing that the
notice and publication requirements of this Section be waived
if the Director or his or her designee certifies that the name
change being sought is intended to protect a witness during and
following a criminal investigation or proceeding.
(d) The maximum rate charged for publication of a notice
under this Section may not exceed the lowest classified rate

10000HB2537sam002 - 3 - LRB100 04116 JLS 25822 a
