(LINDNER-HAMOS-ZICKUS-MITCHELL,BILL-O'CONNOR) 750 ILCS 5/513 from Ch. 40, par. 513 Amends provisions of the Illinois Marriage and Dissolution of Marriage Act authorizing a court to order parents to make contributions for a child's educational expenses before or after the child has attained majority. Makes provision for an accounting of the use of the funds if they are paid directly to the child or a parent. Provides that those orders shall be based on the necessary expenses associated with attending an in-State public institution and shall terminate when the child receives a baccalaureate degree or reaches age 23, whichever occurs first. Provides that support shall not be payable for any period during which the child ceases to be enrolled as a student during any period of 6 consecutive months, and that the court may deny an award of educational support if the child has repudiated the supporting parent without reasonable cause. Provides that an order shall be terminated or adjusted if the child's lifestyle is extravagant or involves excessive cost or expense and that an order shall be terminated if the child's academic performance falls below specified standards. SENATE AMENDMENT NO. 1. Deletes everything. Amends the Illinois Marriage and Dissolution of Marriage Act. Provides that if educational expenses are ordered payable, each parent and the child shall sign any consents necessary for the educational institution to provide the supporting parent with access to the child's academic transcripts, records, and grade reports. Provides that the consents shall not apply to any non-academic records. Provides that failure to execute the required consent may be a basis for a modification or termination of any order entered under provisions regarding support for educational expenses. Provides that the authority under these provisions to make provision for educational expenses, except where the child is mentally or physically disabled and not otherwise emancipated, terminates when the child receives a baccalaureate degree. Adds the child's academic performance to the list of factors the court shall consider under these provisions. 99-02-24 S FIRST READING 99-02-24 S REFERRED TO SENATE RULES COMMITTEE RULES 99-02-24 S ASSIGNED TO COMMITTEE JUDICIARY 99-03-03 S POSTPONED 99-03-10 S POSTPONED 99-03-17 S AMENDMENT NO. 01-JUDICIARY S 99-03-17 S ADOPTED 99-03-17 S DO PASS AS AMENDED 010-000-000 SJUD 99-03-17 S PLACED ON CALENDAR ORDER OF 2ND READING 99-03-18 99-03-18 S SECOND READING 99-03-18 S PLACED ON CALENDAR ORDER OF 3RD READING 99-03-19 99-03-22 S ADDED AS A CHIEF CO-SPONSOR JACOBS 99-03-22 S ADDED AS A CHIEF CO-SPONSOR BOWLES 99-03-22 S ADDED AS A CHIEF CO-SPONSOR KARPIEL 99-03-23 S ADDED AS A CHIEF CO-SPONSOR VIVERITO 99-03-23 S THIRD READING - PASSED 059-000-000 99-03-23 H ARRIVE IN HOUSE 99-03-23 H PLACED CALENDAR ORDER OF FIRST READING 99-03-24 H HOUSE SPONSOR HAMOS 99-03-24 H ALTERNATE PRIMARY SPONSOR CHANGED TO LINDNER 99-03-24 H ADDED AS A JOINT SPONSOR HAMOS 99-03-24 H FIRST READING 99-03-24 H REFERRED TO HOUSE RULES COMMITTEE RULES 99-03-26 H ASSIGNED TO COMMITTEE CHILD SUP ENF 99-04-14 H ADDED AS A JOINT SPONSOR ZICKUS 99-04-14 H ADDED AS A JOINT SPONSOR MITCHELL,BILL 99-04-14 H ADDED AS A JOINT SPONSOR O'CONNOR 99-04-22 H DO PASS/SHORT DEBATE 011-002-000 HCSE 99-04-22 H PLACED CALENDAR 2ND READING-SHORT DEBATE 99-05-04 H SECOND READING-SHORT DEBATE 99-05-04 H PLCD CAL ORDER 3RD READING-SHORT DEBATE 99-05-05 H THIRD READING/SHORT DEBATE/PASSED 116-000-000 99-05-05 S PASSED BOTH HOUSES 99-06-03 S SENT TO THE GOVERNOR 99-07-20 S GOVERNOR APPROVED 99-07-20 S EFFECTIVE DATE 00-01-01 99-07-20 S PUBLIC ACT.............................. 91-0204 END OF INQUIRY Full Text Bill Summary
