Illinois General Assembly - Illinois Compiled Statutes

Updating the database of the Illinois Compiled Statutes (ILCS) is an ongoing process. Recent laws may not yet be included in the ILCS database, but they are found on this site as Public Acts soon after they become law. For information concerning the relationship between statutes and Public Acts, refer to the Guide.

Because the statute database is maintained primarily for legislative drafting purposes, statutory changes are sometimes included in the statute database before they take effect. If the source note at the end of a Section of the statutes includes a Public Act that has not yet taken effect, the version of the law that is currently in effect may have already been removed from the database and you should refer to that Public Act to see the changes made to the current law.

305 ILCS 5/10-17.13

(305 ILCS 5/10-17.13)
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 responsible relatives pursuant to ordinances established by 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.
