Updating the database of the Illinois Compiled Statutes (ILCS) is an ongoing process.
Recent laws may not yet be included in the ILCS database, but they are found on this site as
Public
Acts soon after they become law. For information concerning the relationship between statutes and Public Acts, refer to the
Guide.
Because the statute database is maintained primarily for legislative drafting purposes,
statutory changes are sometimes included in the statute database before they take effect.
If the source note at the end of a Section of the statutes includes a Public Act that has
not yet taken effect, the version of the law that is currently in effect may have already
been removed from the database and you should refer to that Public Act to see the changes
made to the current law.

child support or maintenance obligation that the person owing a duty of support
is unemployed, the court may order the person to seek employment and report
periodically to the court with a diary, listing or other memorandum of his or
her efforts in accordance with such order. Additionally, the court may order
the unemployed person to report to the Department of Employment Security for
job search services or to make application with the local Job
Training Partnership Act provider for participation in job search, training,
or work programs and where the duty of support is owed to a child receiving
child support enforcement services under Article X of the Illinois
Public Aid Code the court may
order the unemployed person to report to the Department of Healthcare and Family Services
for participation in job search, training, or work programs established under
Section 9-6 and Article IXA of that Code.
(b) Whenever it is determined that a person owes past due support for a
child or for a child and the parent with whom the child is living, and the
child is receiving assistance under the Illinois Public Aid Code, the court
shall order at the request of the Department of Healthcare and Family Services:
(1) that the person pay the past-due support in |
| accordance with a plan approved by the court; or
|
|
(2) if the person owing past-due support is
