HB 5991

Abstract

Amends the Illinois Marriage and Dissolution of Marriage Act. In provisions concerning child support, includes, in the definition of "child": a child under age 19 who was not attending high school on his or her 18th birthday but has resumed his or her attendance in high school; and a child under age 22 who is attending high school and is receiving special education services under an individualized education program developed under the Children with Disabilities Article of the School Code. In provisions concerning support for non-minor children, provides that a rebuttable presumption exists that a child meets the eligibility conditions of those provisions if the child: is receiving special education services under an individualized education program developed under the Children with Disabilities Article of the School Code; or is receiving transition services from the Department of Human Services in accordance with the Disabled Persons Rehabilitation Act after the child received special education services under an individualized education program developed under the Children with Disabilities Article of the School Code.
