        In the Public Aid Code, the Marriage and Dissolution of  Marriage      
   Act, the Non-Support of Spouse and Children Act, and the Parentage Act      
   of  1984,  deletes all references to the "State Disbursement Unit" and

   Public Aid.                                                                 
        SENATE AMENDMENT NO. 2.                                                
          Adds reference to:                                                   
          305 ILCS 5/10-4                 from Ch. 23, par. 10-4               
          305 ILCS 5/10-17.1              from Ch. 23, par. 10-17.1            
        Further amends the Public Aid Code to (i) provide for service  of      
   notice  of  support  obligation  by a private person over 18 and not a      
   party  to  the  administrative  proceeding  and   (ii)   provide   for      
   "administrative" registration of a support order entered by a court or      
   administrative  body  of  another  state (now, registration of such an      
   order from this or any other state) for the purpose  of  enforcing  or      
   modifying  the  order  (now,  for  the  sole  purpose of enforcing the      
   order). In the Public  Aid  Code,  the  Marriage  and  Dissolution  of      
   Marriage  Act,  the  Non-Support  of  Spouse and Children Act, and the      
   Parentage Act of 1984, requires  that  an  income  withholding  notice      
   contain  the printed name and telephone number (rather than signature)      
   of the authorized representative of the public office.  In  the  Vital      
   Records  Act, provides that the local registrar or county clerk's oral      
   explanation of Department of Public  Aid  documents  and  instructions      
   concerning  establishment  of  a  parent and child relationship may be      
   given in person or through the use of video or audio equipment.  Makes      
   other changes.

          305 ILCS 5/10-27 new                                                 
        Further amends the Public Aid Code.  Directs  the  Department  of      
   Public  Aid  to  establish  a  State  Case Registry to contain records      
   concerning child support orders for parties receiving child and spouse      
   support services and for all child support orders entered or  modified      
   on or after October 1, 1998. Provides for exchange of information with      
   federal  agencies  and  agencies  of  this  State  and  other  states.      
   Provides   for   safeguards  to  protect  privacy  rights  of  persons      
   concerning whom information is on record in the Registry.                   
        HOUSE AMENDMENT NO. 2.  (Tabled May 18, 1998)                          
        Provides that the ability of the Illinois  Department  of  Public      
   Aid to use private persons to serve notices does not affect duties and      
   obligations  existing  under  an  agreement of cooperation between the      
   Department and a local governmental unit.                                   
          FISCAL NOTE, AMENDED (Dpt. of Public Aid)

          CORRECTIONAL NOTE, H-AMS 1 & 2                                       
          There will be no population or fiscal impact.                        
          JUDICIAL NOTE, H-AMS 1 & 2                                           
          There may be minimal change in judicial workloads, but no            
          increase in the need for the number of judges in the State.          
          BALANCED BUDGET NOTE, H-AM 1 (Rep. Durkin)

          any general funds appropriation for FY1998.

          BALANCED BUDGET NOTE, H-AM 3 (Rep. Durkin)

          STATE MANDATES FISCAL NOTE, H-AMS 1 & 2                              
          Fails to create a State mandate.                                     
          HOME RULE NOTE, H-AMS 1 & 2                                          
          The bill fails to preempt home rule authority.                       
        HOUSE AMENDMENT NO. 3.
