 1        AN ACT concerning family law.

 2        Be it enacted by the People of  the  State  of  Illinois,
 3    represented in the General Assembly:

 4        Section  5.   The  Illinois  Marriage  and Dissolution of
 5    Marriage Act is amended by changing Section 507 as follows:

 6        (750 ILCS 5/507) (from Ch. 40, par. 507)
 7        Sec. 507.  Payment of maintenance or support to court.
 8        (a)  In actions instituted  under  this  Act,  the  court
 9    shall  order that maintenance and support payments be made to
10    the clerk of the circuit court as trustee for  remittance  to
11    the  person  entitled  to receive the payments.  However, the
12    court  in  its  discretion   may   direct   otherwise   where
13    circumstances so warrant.
14        Upon   notification   in   writing   or   by   electronic
15    transmission  from  the  Illinois Department of Public Aid to
16    the clerk of the court that a person who is receiving support
17    payments under this Section is receiving services  under  the
18    Child  Support  Enforcement Program established by Title IV-D
19    of the Social Security Act, any support payments subsequently
20    received by the clerk of the court shall  be  transmitted  in
21    accordance  with  the instructions of the Illinois Department
22    of Public Aid until the Department gives notice to the  clerk
23    of  the  court to cease the transmittal.  After providing the
24    notification authorized under this  paragraph,  the  Illinois
25    Department  of  Public  Aid  shall  be entitled as a party to
26    notice of any further proceedings in the case.  The clerk  of
27    the  court  shall  file  a copy of the Illinois Department of
28    Public Aid's notification in the court file.  The failure  of
29    the  clerk  to  file  a copy of the notification in the court
30    file shall not, however, affect the  Illinois  Department  of
31    Public Aid's right to receive notice of further proceedings.
 
                            -2-                LRB9203997WHpc
 1        (b)  The  clerk  of  court shall maintain records listing
 2    the amount of payments, the date payments are required to  be
 3    made  and  the names and addresses of the parties affected by
 4    the order. For those cases in which support is payable to the
 5    clerk of the circuit court for transmittal  to  the  Illinois
 6    Department  of  Public  Aid  by  order  of  the court or upon
 7    notification of the Illinois Department of  Public  Aid,  and
 8    the  Illinois  Department  of  Public Aid collects support by
 9    assignment, offset, withholding, deduction or  other  process
10    permitted  by  law,  the Illinois Department shall notify the
11    clerk of  the  date  and  amount  of  such  collection.  Upon
12    notification,  the  clerk  shall record the collection on the
13    payment record for the case.
14        (c)  The parties affected by the order shall  inform  the
15    clerk of court of any change of address or of other condition
16    that may affect the administration of the order.
17        (d)  The  provisions  of  this Section shall not apply to
18    cases that come under the provisions of Sections 709  through
19    712.
20        (e)  To  the  extent  the  provisions of this Section are
21    inconsistent with the requirements pertaining  to  the  State
22    Disbursement Unit under Section 507.1 of this Act and Section
23    10-26  of  the  Illinois  Public  Aid  Code, the requirements
24    pertaining to the State Disbursement Unit shall apply.
