1298	1332		10 Article 12 of this Act.
1299	1333		11 (k-10) If a creditor discovers personal property of the
1300	1334		12 judgment debtor that is subject to the lien of a citation to
1301	1335		13 discover assets, the creditor may have the court impress a
1302	1336		14 lien against a specific item of personal property, including a
1303	1337		15 beneficial interest in a land trust. The lien survives the
1304	1338		16 termination of the citation proceedings and remains as a lien
1305	1339		17 against the personal property in the same manner that a
1306	1340		18 judgment lien recorded against real property pursuant to
1307	1341		19 Section 12-101 remains a lien on real property. If the
1308	1342		20 judgment is revived before dormancy, the lien shall remain. A
1309	1343		21 lien against personal property may, but need not, be recorded
1310	1344		22 in the office of the recorder or filed as an informational
1311	1345		23 filing pursuant to the Uniform Commercial Code.
1312	1346		24 (l) At any citation hearing at which the judgment debtor
1313	1347		25 appears and seeks a declaration that certain of his or her

1328	1362		4 debtor may request, in writing, a hearing to declare exempt
1329	1363		5 certain income and assets by notifying the clerk of the court
1330	1364		6 before that time, using forms as may be provided by the clerk
1331	1365		7 of the court. The clerk of the court will obtain a prompt

1333	1367		9 forms that must be prepared by the judgment debtor or the
1334	1368		10 attorney for the judgment debtor and sent to the judgment
1335	1369		11 creditor, or the judgment creditor's attorney, regarding the
1336	1370		12 time and location of the hearing. This notice may be sent by
1337	1371		13 regular first class mail. At the hearing, the court shall
1338	1372		14 immediately, unless for good cause shown that the hearing is
1339	1373		15 to be continued, shall proceed to determine whether the
1340	1374		16 property which the judgment debtor declares to be exempt is
1341	1375		17 exempt from judgment. The restraining provisions of subsection
