Replaces everything after the enacting clause. Amends the Illinois Public Aid Code. In provisions concerning the determination and enforcement of support obligations, provides that the Department of Healthcare and Family Services may compromise any debt owed by incarcerated individuals to the State in the form of child support interest accrued on child support arrearages assigned to the State and that such support obligations may be compromised, with due regard for the payment ability of low-income obligors and the importance of encouraging payment of current child support obligations. Provides that assigned obligations shall be compromised only upon request of an incarcerated individual and only upon proof of incarceration and the length thereof and that interest owed to the State will only be compromised for the period in which the individual is actually incarcerated. Provides that the interest debt compromise shall be implemented to maximize positive effects on families and the level of federal incentive payments payable to the State under a specified provision of the Social Security Act.
