Sec. 55.

Alternative procedures for service of an income withholding
notice.

(a) The procedures of this Section may be used in any matter to serve an
income
withholding notice on a payor if:

(1) for any reason the most recent order for support

entered does not contain the income withholding provisions required under Section 20, irrespective of whether a separate order for withholding was entered prior to July 1, 1997; and

(2) the obligor has accrued a delinquency after entry

of the most recent order for support.

(b) The obligee or public office shall prepare and serve the income
withholding
notice in accordance with the provisions of Section 25, except that the
notice shall
contain a periodic amount for payment of the delinquency equal to 20% of the
total of
the current support amount and the amount to be paid periodically for payment
of any
arrearage stated in the most recent order for support.

(c) If the obligor requests in writing that income withholding become
effective prior
to the obligor
accruing a delinquency under the most recent
order for support, the obligee or public
office may
prepare and serve an income withholding notice on the payor as provided in
Section
20.  In addition to filing proofs of service of the income withholding notice
on the
payor and the obligor, the obligee or public office shall file a copy of the
obligor's
written request for income withholding with the Clerk of the Circuit Court.

(d) All other provisions of this Act shall be applicable with
respect to
the provisions
of this Section 55.
