responsibility of relatives, an obligor or obligee, or their |

a circuit clerk with regard to that obligor or obligee that are |

Sec. 10-17.6. Certification of

|
Information to Licensing Agencies. The
Illinois Department may |
provide by rule for certification to any State
licensing agency |
|
of (i) the failure of responsible relatives to comply with |
subpoenas or warrants relating to paternity or child support |
proceedings and (ii) past due support owed by responsible |
relatives under a
support order entered by a court or |
administrative body of this or any
other State on behalf of |
resident or non-resident persons receiving child support |
enforcement services under Title IV, Part D of the Social |
Security Act. The rule shall

Sec. 10-17.13. Vehicle immobilization and impoundment. The |
Illinois Department may provide by rule for certification to |
municipalities of past due support owed by responsible |
relatives under a support order entered by a court or |
administrative body of this or any other State on behalf of |
resident or non-resident persons. The purpose of certification |
shall be to effect collection of past due support by |
immobilization and impoundment of vehicles registered to |

such municipalities under Section 11-1430 of the Illinois |
Vehicle Code. |
|
The rule shall provide for notice to and an opportunity to |
be heard by each responsible relative affected, and any final |
administrative decision rendered by the Department shall be |
reviewed only under and in accordance with the Administrative |
Review Law. A responsible relative may avoid certification to a |
municipality for vehicle immobilization or arrange for |
discontinuance of vehicle immobilization and impoundment |
already engaged by payment of past due support or by entering |
into a plan for payment of past and current child support |
obligations in a manner satisfactory to the Illinois |
Department.

Sec. 7-701. Findings and purpose. The General Assembly |
finds that
the timely receipt of adequate financial support has |
the effect of reducing
poverty and State expenditures for |
welfare dependency among children, and that
the timely payment |
of adequate child support demonstrates financial
|
responsibility. Further, the General Assembly finds that the |
State has a
compelling interest in ensuring that drivers within |
the State demonstrate
financial responsibility, including |
family financial responsibility, in order
to safely own and |
operate a motor vehicle. To this end, the
Secretary of State
is |
authorized to establish systems to suspend
driver's licenses |
for failure to
comply with court and administrative orders of |
support.

|
support payments or has been adjudicated in arrears in an |
amount

ordered |
child support payments in an amount equal to 90 days obligation |
or
more,
but has not been held in contempt of court, and that |

the person's driving privileges be |
suspended. The obligor's driver's license
shall be suspended |
until such time as the Secretary of State receives
|
authenticated documentation that the obligor is in compliance |
with the court
order of support. When the obligor complies with |
the court ordered child
support
payments, the circuit court |
shall report the obligor's compliance with the
court order of |
support to the Secretary of State, on a form prescribed by the
|
Secretary of State, and shall order that the obligor's driver's |
license be

(b) Whenever, after one suspension of an individual's |
driver's
license for failure to pay child support, another |
|
order of
non-payment is entered against the obligor and the |
person fails to
come into compliance with the court order of
|
support, then the Secretary shall again suspend the driver's

Secretary of State may rescind |
or impose the driver's license
suspension. If the suspension is |

Department of Healthcare and Family Services that the person |
