Short description: 
CHILD SUPPORT-PROPRTY TRANSFER                                             

Synopsis of Bill as introduced:
        Amends the Illinois Public Aid Code, the  Illinois  Marriage  and      
   Dissolution  of  Marriage  Act,  the  Non-Support  Punishment Act, the      
   Uniform Interstate Family Support Act, and the Illinois Parentage  Act      
   of  1984.  Provides  that  for  purposes  of enforcing a child support      
   order, a transfer made by a child support obligor is fraudulent as  to      
   an obligee if the obligor made the transfer with the intent to defraud      
   the  obligee  or  without receiving equivalent value for the transfer.      
   Provides that in an action for relief from such a fraudulent transfer,      
   the State's Attorney may obtain avoidance of  the  transfer  or  other      
   relief.  Provides that a person who willfully defaults on an order for      
   child support may be subject to summary criminal contempt proceedings.      
   Provides that each State agency shall withhold, suspend,  or  restrict      
   the  use  of    any  license or certificate issued by that agency to a      
   person found guilty of criminal contempt and authorizes the Department      
   of Public Aid, in addition to others, to receive location  information      
   for   child   support  establishment  and  enforcement  purposes  from      
   employers, labor unions, telephone companies, and  utility  companies.      
   Provides  that,  upon    request  by  a  tribunal  of another state, a      
   tribunal of this State shall issue or cause to be issued a subpoena or      
   a subpoena duces tecum requiring a person in this State to  appear  at      
   a  deposition  or  before  a  tribunal and answer questions or produce      
   documents or other  tangible  things  for  the  purpose  of  obtaining      
   information  regarding the person's assets, income, and ability to pay      
   a  support  order  or   judgment entered in the other state.  Provides      
   that a tribunal of this State  may make similar requests of a tribunal      
   in another state. Effective immediately.                                    
          JUDICIAL NOTE (Office of the Illinois Courts)                        
          Although the number of cases of willful default on child             
          support may be large, it is unclear how many of those cases          
          would be dealt with in a summary proceeding, or the intended         
          scope of such proceedings. Therefore, it is not possible to          
          determine whether the bill would increase the number of judges       
          needed in the State.
