Synopsis As Introduced
Amends the Illinois Public Aid Code. Provides that the Department of Healthcare and Family Services may provide by rule for compromise of child support arrearages and interest accrued on child support arrearages assigned to the State under the Code. Provides that the rule shall establish the circumstances under which such 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.

House Amendment No. 1
Replaces everything after the enacting clause. Amends the Illinois Public Aid Code with provisions similar to those of House Bill 4788, except provides that the Department of Healthcare and Family Services may provide by rule for compromise of debt owed to the State in the form of child support arrearages and accrued interest (instead of compromise of child support arrearages and accrued interest).

Senate Floor Amendment No. 1
Provides that the rule to be adopted by the Department of Healthcare and Family Services in connection with compromise of debt owed to the State in the form of assigned child support arrearages shall provide that assigned obligations shall be compromised only in exchange for regular payment of support owed to the family and shall require that obligors considered for debt compromise demonstrate inability to pay during the time the assigned obligation accumulated. Provides that the rule shall provide for nullification of any compromise agreement and the prohibition of any future compromise agreement if the obligor fails to adhere to the compromise agreement. Provides that the rule shall establish debt compromise criteria calculated to maximize positive effects on families and the level of federal incentive payments payable to the State under the Social Security Act.
