Illinois General Assembly - Bill Status for HB0016

Amends the Illinois Public Aid Code, the Illinois Marriage and Dissolution of Marriage Act, the Non-Support Punishment Act, the Uniform Interstate Family Support Act, and the Illinois Parentage Act of 1984. Provides that for purposes of enforcing a child support order, a transfer made by a child support obligor is fraudulent as to an obligee if the obligor made the transfer with the intent to defraud the obligee or without receiving equivalent value for the transfer. Provides that in an action for relief from such a fraudulent transfer, the State's Attorney may obtain avoidance of the transfer or other relief. Provides that a person who willfully defaults on an order for child support may be subject to summary criminal contempt proceedings. Provides that each State agency shall withhold, suspend, or restrict the use of any license or certificate issued by that agency to a person found guilty of criminal contempt and authorizes the Department of Public Aid, in addition to others, to receive location information for child support establishment and enforcement purposes from employers, labor unions, telephone companies, and utility companies. Provides that, upon request by a tribunal of another state, a tribunal of this State shall issue or cause to be issued a subpoena or a subpoena duces tecum requiring a person in this State to appear at a deposition or before a tribunal and answer questions or produce documents or other tangible things for the purpose of obtaining information regarding the person's assets, income, and ability to pay a support order or judgment entered in the other state. Provides that a tribunal of this State may make similar requests of a tribunal in another state. Effective immediately.

Deletes everything after the enacting clause. Amends the Illinois Public Aid Code, the Illinois Marriage and Dissolution of Marriage Act, the Non-Support Punishment Act, and the Illinois Parentage Act of 1984. Provides that upon request by the Department of Public Aid's Child and Spouse Support Unit or another public office responsible for enforcing a child support order, employers, labor unions, and telephone companies must provide location information concerning putative fathers and noncustodial parents for the purpose of establishing a child's paternity or establishing, enforcing, or modifying a child support obligation. (Under current law, the Child and Spouse Support Unit may request and receive such information.) Requires an employer, labor union, or telephone company to respond within 15 days, and provides for a civil penalty for a failure to do so. Provides that an employer, labor union, telephone company, utility company, or cable television company shall not be liable to any person for disclosure of location information under these requirements. Makes other changes. Effective immediately.
