25    noncustodial  parent is a member shall respond to the request
26    of the Child and Spouse Support Unit within 15 days after the
27    employer or labor union receives the request.   Any  employer
28    or  labor  union that willfully fails to fully respond within
29    the 15-day period shall be subject to a penalty of  $100  for
30    each  day  that  the response is not provided to the Illinois
31    Department after the 15-day period has expired.  The  penalty

 5    under  this  Code,  the  Child  and  Spouse  Support Unit may
 6    request  and  receive  from  utility  companies,  and   cable
 7    television companies, and Internet service providers location
