House Sponsors: LYONS,EILEEN. Short description: CHLD SUPPORT-CONT'D OBLIGATION Synopsis of Bill as introduced: Amends the Illinois Public Aid Code, the Illinois Marriage and Dissolution of Marriage Act, the Non-Support Punishment Act, and the Illinois Parentage Act of 1984 to provide that if there is an unpaid child support arrearage or delinquency equal to at least one month's support obligation on the support order's termination date, then the periodic amount required to be paid for current support of the child immediately before that date shall automatically continue to be an obligation, not as current support but as periodic payments toward satisfaction of the unpaid arrearage or delinquency. Provides that these periodic payments shall be in addition to any periodic payment previously required for satisfaction of the arrearage or delinquency. Also amends the Illinois Public Aid Code to add provisions concerning the termination date of an order for support and to remove provisions concerning (i) an obligor's report of new employment or the termination of employment and (ii) a one-time charge on the amount of past-due child support owed on July 1, 1988. Amends the Income Withholding for Support Act to add provisions concerning income withholding for an unpaid child support arrearage or delinquency after the current support obligation terminates. Amends the Code of Civil Procedure to authorize private process servers in counties of 1,000,000 or more in cases in which a party is receiving child support enforcement services from the Department of Public Aid. The changes to the Code of Civil Procedure are effective July 1, 2002; the remaining changes are effective January 1, 2003.
