Sec. 706.3. Information concerning obligors.
(a) In this Section:
"Arrearage", "delinquency", "obligor", and "order for support" have the
meanings attributed to those terms in the Income Withholding for Support Act.
"Consumer reporting agency" has the meaning attributed to that term in
Section 603(f) of the Fair Credit Reporting Act, 15 U.S.C. 1681a(f).
(b) Whenever a court of competent jurisdiction finds that an obligor either
owes an arrearage of more than $10,000, is delinquent in payment of an amount
equal to at least 3 months' support obligation pursuant to an order for
support, or fails to pay the child support annual fee for a period of 3 years,
the court shall direct the clerk of the court to make information
concerning the obligor available to consumer reporting agencies.
(c) Whenever a court of competent jurisdiction finds that an obligor either
owes an arrearage of more than $10,000 or is delinquent in payment of an amount
equal to at least 3 months' support obligation pursuant to an order for
support, the court shall direct the clerk of the court to cause the obligor's
name and address to be published in a newspaper of general circulation in the
area in which the obligor resides. The clerk shall cause the obligor's name
and address to be published only after sending to the obligor at the obligor's
last known address, by certified mail, return receipt requested, a notice of
intent to publish the information. This subsection (c) applies only if the
obligor resides in the county in which the clerk of the court holds office.
