18        Sec. 207.  Recognition of controlling child-support order
19    child support-orders.
20        (a)  If a proceeding is brought under this Act,  and  one

SB806 Engrossed             -8-               LRB9000438WHmgA
 1    rules in determining which order to recognize for purposes of

 3             (1) (2)  If  two or more tribunals have issued child
 4        support orders for the same obligor and child,  and  only
 5        one  of   the  tribunals would have continuing, exclusive
 6        jurisdiction under this Act, the order of  that  tribunal
 7        controls and must be so recognized.
 8             (2)  (3)  If two or more tribunals have issued child
 9        support orders for the same obligor and child,  and  more
10        than   one   of  the  tribunals  would  have  continuing,
11        exclusive jurisdiction under this Act, an order issued by
12        a tribunal  in  the  current  home  state  of  the  child
13        controls  and  must be so recognized, but if an order has
14        not been issued in the current home state of  the  child,
15        the  order  most  recently issued controls and must be so
16        recognized.
17             (3) (4)  If two or more tribunals have issued  child
18        support  orders  for the same obligor and child, and none
19        of  the  tribunals  would  have   continuing,   exclusive
20        jurisdiction  under  this Act, the tribunal of this State
21        having jurisdiction over the parties shall  may  issue  a
22        child-support  child  support  order,  which controls and
23        must be so recognized.
24        (c)  If two or more child-support orders have been issued
25    for the same obligor and child and  if  the  obligor  or  the
26    individual obligee resides in this State, a party may request
27    a  tribunal  of  this State to determine which order controls
28    and must be so recognized under subsection (b).  The  request
29    must  be  accompanied  by  a  certified copy of every support
30    order in effect. The requesting party shall  give  notice  of
31    the request to each party whose rights may be affected by the
32    determination.
33        (d)  (b)  The tribunal that has issued the controlling an
34    order recognized under subsection (a), (b),  or  (c)  is  the
SB806 Engrossed             -9-               LRB9000438WHmgA
 1    tribunal  that  has having continuing, exclusive jurisdiction
 2    under Section 205.
 3        (e) A tribunal of this State which  determines  by  order
 4    the identity of the controlling order under subsection (b)(1)
 5    or  (2)  or  which  issues  a  new  controlling  order  under
 6    subsection  (b)(3)  shall  state in that order the basis upon
 7    which the tribunal made its determination.
 8        (f) Within 30 days after issuance of an order determining
 9    the identity of the controlling order,  the  party  obtaining
10    the  order  shall  file  a  certified  copy  of  it with each
11    tribunal that issued or registered an earlier order of  child
12    support.  A  party  who obtains the order and fails to file a
13    certified copy is  subject  to  appropriate  sanctions  by  a
14    tribunal  in  which  the issue of failure to file arises. The
15    failure  to  file   does   not   affect   the   validity   or
16    enforceability of the controlling order.

25    shall  give  notice of the contest to any support enforcement
26    agency providing services to the obligee and to:
27             (1)  the person  or  agency  designated  to  receive

 6    Administrative enforcement of orders.
 7        (a)  A party seeking to enforce a  support  order  or  an
 8    income-withholding  order,  or  both, issued by a tribunal of
 9    another state may send the documents required for registering
10    the order to a support enforcement agency of this State.
11        (b)  Upon  receipt  of   the   documents,   the   support
12    enforcement agency, without initially seeking to register the
13    order,   shall   consider   and,   if  appropriate,  use  any
14    administrative procedure authorized by the law of this  State
15    to enforce a support order or an income-withholding order, or
16    both.    If  the  obligor  does  not  contest  administrative
17    enforcement, the  order  need  not  be  registered.   If  the
18    obligor  contests  the validity or administrative enforcement
19    of the order, the support enforcement agency  shall  register

15        Sec. 506. Contest by obligor.
16        (a)  An  obligor  may contest the validity or enforcement
17    of an income-withholding order issued in  another  state  and
18    received  directly  by  an employer in this State in the same
19    manner as if the order had been issued by a tribunal of  this

21        (b)  The obligor shall give notice of the contest to:

23        to the obligee;
24             (2)  each employer that  has  directly  received  an

26             (3)  the  person  or  agency  designated  to receive

 1    income-withholding order, or both, issued by  a  tribunal  of
 2    another state may send the documents required for registering
 3    the order to a support enforcement agency of this State.
 4        (b)  Upon   receipt   of   the   documents,  the  support
 5    enforcement agency, without initially seeking to register the
 6    order,  shall  consider  and,   if   appropriate,   use   any
 7    administrative  procedure authorized by the law of this State
 8    to enforce a support order or an income-withholding order, or
 9    both.   If  the  obligor  does  not  contest   administrative
10    enforcement,  the  order  need  not  be  registered.   If the
11    obligor contests the validity or  administrative  enforcement
12    of  the  order, the support enforcement agency shall register
13    the order pursuant to this Act.

20        (a)  When a support  order  or  income-withholding  order
21    issued  in  another  state  is  registered,  the  registering
22    tribunal  shall  notify the nonregistering party. Notice must
23    be given by first class, certified, or registered mail or  by

 3        within 20 days after the  date  of  mailing  or  personal
 4        service of the notice;

 6        enforcement of the registered order in  a  timely  manner
 7        will  result in confirmation of the order and enforcement
 8        of the order and the  alleged  arrearages  and  precludes
 9        further  contest of that order with respect to any matter
10        that could have been asserted; and
11             (4)  of the amount of any alleged arrearages.
12        (c)  Upon registration of an income-withholding order for
13    enforcement,  the  registering  tribunal  shall  notify   the
14    obligor's   employer  pursuant  to  Section  10-16.2  of  the
15    Illinois Public Aid  Code,  Section  706.1  of  the  Illinois

26    shall  request  a  hearing  within  20 days after the date of
27    mailing or personal service of notice  of  the  registration.
28    The nonregistering party may seek to vacate the registration,
29    to  assert any defense to an allegation of noncompliance with
30    the  registered order,  or  to  contest  the  remedies  being
31    sought  or  the  amount of any alleged arrearages pursuant to
32    Section 607.
33        (b)  If the nonregistering party  fails  to  contest  the

 1    validity  or  enforcement of the registered order in a timely

 7    Order of Another State.
 8        (a)  After  a child-support child support order issued in
 9    another  state  has  been  registered  in  this  State,   the
10    responding  tribunal of this State may modify that order only
11    if Section 613 does not apply and, after notice and  hearing,
12    it finds that:
13             (1)  the following requirements are met:
14                  (i)  the  child, the individual petitioner, and
15             the respondent do not reside in the issuing state;
16                  (ii)  a petitioner who is a nonresident of this
17             State seeks modification; and
18                  (iii)  the  respondent  is   subject   to   the
19             personal jurisdiction of the tribunal of this State;
20             or
21             (2)  an  individual  party  or the child, or a party
22        who  is  an  individual,  is  subject  to  the   personal
23        jurisdiction of the tribunal of this State and all of the
24        individual  parties  who  are  individuals  have  filed a
25        written consents consent  in  the  issuing  tribunal  for
26        providing that a tribunal of this State to may modify the
27        support    order   and   assume   continuing,   exclusive
28        jurisdiction over the  order.  However,  if  the  issuing
29        state  is  a  foreign jurisdiction that has not enacted a
30        law or established procedures  substantially  similar  to
31        the  procedures  under  this  Act,  the consent otherwise
32        required of an individual residing in this State  is  not
33        required  for  the  tribunal  to  assume  jurisdiction to
SB806 Engrossed             -25-              LRB9000438WHmgA
 1        modify the child-support order.
 2        (b)  Modification of  a  registered  child-support  child
 3    support   order   is   subject   to  the  same  requirements,
 4    procedures, and defenses that  apply to the  modification  of
 5    an order issued by a tribunal of this State and the order may
 6    be enforced and satisfied in the same manner.
 7        (c)  A  tribunal  of this State may not modify any aspect
 8    of a child-support  child  support  order  that  may  not  be
 9    modified  under  the law of the issuing state. If two or more
10    tribunals have  issued  child-support  orders  for  the  same
11    obligor  and  child,  the  order that controls and must be so
12    recognized under Section 207 establishes the aspects  of  the
13    support order which are nonmodifiable.
14        (d)  On  issuance  of  an order modifying a child-support
15    child support order issued in another state,  a  tribunal  of
16    this   State  becomes  the  tribunal  having  of  continuing,
17    exclusive jurisdiction.
18        (e)  Within 30 days after issuance of  a  modified  child
19    support  order,  the  party  obtaining the modification shall
20    file a certified copy of the order with the issuing  tribunal
21    which had continuing, exclusive jurisdiction over the earlier
22    order,  and  in  each  tribunal in which the party knows that
23    earlier order has been registered.

31    pursuant to a law substantially similar to this Act and, upon

16    and  to  modify  the issuing state's child-support order in a

21    of   this   State   to  the  proceeding  for  enforcement  or

29    order, and in each tribunal in  which  the  party  knows  the

21    the "Illinois Directory of New Hires" which shall contain the
22    information required to  be  reported  by  employers  to  the

24    quarterly basis, furnish to the  National  Directory  of  New
25    Hires  administered by the United States Department of Health
26    and Human Services  information  contained  in  the  Illinois

29    format,   and   concerning  such  other  information  as  the

 3    States Secretary of Health and Human Services in interpreting

 8        B.  Each  employer  in  Illinois,  except  a  department,
 9    agency,  or  instrumentality of the United States, shall file
10    with the Department a report in accordance with rules adopted
11    by the Department (but, in any event, not later than 20  days
12    after  the  date  the  employer hires the employee, or in the
13    case of an  employer  transmitting  reports  magnetically  or
14    electronically, by 2 monthly transmissions, if necessary, not
15    less  than 12 days nor more than 16 days apart) the following
16    information  concerning  each  newly  hired   employee:   the
17    employee's name, address, and social security number, and the
18    employer's  name,  address,  Federal  Employer Identification

20    Code  of  1986,  and such other information that the Director
21    shall require by  rule,  provided  that,  each  employer  may
22    voluntarily  file  the  date  of new hire, and the address to
23    which the employer wants  income  withholding  orders  to  be
24    mailed,  if  it  is  different  from the address given on the
25    Federal Employer Identification Number. Employers in Illinois
26    which transmit their reports electronically  or  magnetically
27    and which also have employees in another state may report all
28    newly  hired  employees to a single designated state in which
29    the  employer  has  employees  if  it  has  so  notified  the
30    Secretary of the United States Department of Health and Human
31    Services  in  writing.   Each  report  required  under   this
32    subsection  shall be made on an Internal Revenue Service Form
33    W-4 or, at the option of the employer,  an  equivalent  form,
34    and  may be transmitted by first class mail, magnetically, or

 2        C.  An employer which knowingly fails to comply with  the
 3    reporting  requirements  established by this Section shall be
 4    subject to a civil penalty of $15 per each  individual  which
 5    it  fails to report.  An employer shall be considered to have
 6    knowingly failed to comply with  the  reporting  requirements
 7    established  by this Section with respect to an individual if
 8    the employer has been notified by the Department by certified
 9    mail that it has failed  to  report  an  individual,  and  it
10    knowingly  fails,  without  reasonable  cause,  to supply the
11    required information to the Department within 21  days  after
12    the  date  of  mailing  of  the  notice.  Any  individual who
13    knowingly conspires with the newly hired  employee  to  cause
14    the  employer  to  fail to report the information required by
15    this Section or who knowingly conspires with the newly  hired
16    employee  to cause the employer to file a false or incomplete
17    report shall be guilty of a Class B misdemeanor, with a  fine
18    not  to  exceed  $500  with  respect  to  each  individual so
19    conspiring.
20        D.  As used in this Section:
21        "Newly hired employee" means  an  individual  who  is  an
22    employee  within  the  meaning  of Chapter 24 of the Internal
23    Revenue Code of 1986,  and  whose  reporting  to  work  which
24    results  in  earnings from the employer is the first instance
25    within  the  preceding  180  days  that  the  individual  has
26    reported for work and received earnings with respect to  such
27    work   from  that  employer,  provided,  however,  that  this
28    definition does not include an employee of a federal or State
29    agency   performing   intelligence   or   counterintelligence
30    functions, if the head of the agency has determined that  the
31    filing of the report required by this Section with respect to
32    the  employee  could  endanger the safety of or compromise an
33    ongoing investigation or intelligence mission.
34        Notwithstanding Section 205, and for the purposes of this
SB806 Engrossed             -30-              LRB9000438WHmgA
 1    Section only, the term "employer" has the  meaning  given  by
 2    Section  3401(d)  of  the  Internal  Revenue Code of 1986 and
 3    includes any governmental entity and  labor  organization  as
 4    defined  by Section 2(5) of the National Labor Relations Act,
 5    and includes any entity (also known as a hiring  hall)  which
 6    is  used by the organization and an employer to carry out the
