As used in this Section, "cellular telephone company" includes a cellular telephone or wireless carrier or provider, but does not include a pre-paid wireless carrier or provider. As used in this Section, "physical whereabouts" does not include real time or historical location tracking information.

An employer, labor union, cellular telephone company, or telephone company shall respond to the request of the Child and Spouse Support Unit within 15 days after receiving the request. Any employer, labor union, cellular telephone company, or telephone company that willfully fails to fully respond within the 15-day period shall be subject to a penalty of $100 for each day that the response is not provided to the Illinois Department after the 15-day period has expired. The penalty may be collected in a civil action, which may be brought against the employer, labor union, cellular telephone company, or telephone company in favor of the Illinois Department.

(b) Upon being served with an administrative subpoena as authorized under this Code, a utility company or cable television company must provide location information to the Child and Spouse Support Unit for the purpose of establishing a child's paternity or establishing, enforcing, or modifying a child support obligation.
