Illinois General Assembly - Illinois Compiled Statutes

Updating the database of the Illinois Compiled Statutes (ILCS) is an ongoing process. Recent laws may not yet be included in the ILCS database, but they are found on this site as Public Acts soon after they become law. For information concerning the relationship between statutes and Public Acts, refer to the Guide.

Because the statute database is maintained primarily for legislative drafting purposes, statutory changes are sometimes included in the statute database before they take effect. If the source note at the end of a Section of the statutes includes a Public Act that has not yet taken effect, the version of the law that is currently in effect may have already been removed from the database and you should refer to that Public Act to see the changes made to the current law.

Alternative Actions to Enforce Parental Payments Due.

If
a responsible parent or guardian fails or refuses to make parental payments
for care and training of their children, or contributes less than the amount
indicated by the determination, the Department shall take action to enforce
support in accordance with Section 9.8 of this Act.

An annual interest rate equal to the prime commercial rate of interest
plus 3% will be assessed and payable on all amounts more than 60 days past

prime rate as from time to time is publicly announced by the largest commercial
