1     AN ACT concerning child support.
 
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 shall
9 order that maintenance and support payments be made to the
10 clerk of the circuit court as trustee for remittance to the
11 person entitled to receive the payments. However, the court in
12 its discretion may direct otherwise where circumstances so
13 warrant.
14     Upon notification in writing or by electronic transmission
15 from the Illinois Department of Public Aid to the clerk of the
16 court that a person who is receiving support payments under
17 this Section is receiving services under the Child Support
18 Enforcement Program established by Title IV-D of the Social
19 Security Act, any support payments subsequently received by the
20 clerk of the court shall be transmitted in accordance with the
21 instructions of the Illinois Department of Public Aid until the
22 Department gives notice to the clerk of the court to cease the
23 transmittal. After providing the notification authorized under
24 this paragraph, the Illinois Department of Public Aid shall be
25 entitled as a party to notice of any further proceedings in the
26 case. The clerk of the court shall file a copy of the Illinois
27 Department of Public Aid's notification in the court file. The
28 failure of the clerk to file a copy of the notification in the
29 court file shall not, however, affect the Illinois Department
30 of Public Aid's right to receive notice of further proceedings.
31     (b) The clerk of court shall maintain records listing the
32 amount of payments, the date payments are required to be made
