HB 16

Abstract

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.
