        SENATE AMENDMENT NO. 1.

          305 ILCS 5/12-8.1                                                    
        Deletes everything. Amends the Illinois Public Aid Code. Provides      
   that, if an agreement with a  State  or  local  governmental  unit  or      
   private entity to perform the functions of the State Disbursement Unit      
   is  not  in  effect,  the  Department  of Public Aid shall perform the      
   functions of the State Disbursement Unit for a maximum  of  24  months

   payment of the Department  of  Public  Aid's  administrative  expenses      
   incurred  in performing child support enforcement functions (including
