Information maintained by the Legislative
Reference Bureau
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.

Sec. 714.
Information to locate putative fathers and noncustodial parents.
(a) Upon request by a public office, employers, labor unions, and telephone
companies
shall provide location information concerning putative fathers and noncustodial
parents for the
purpose of establishing a child's paternity or establishing, enforcing, or
modifying a child support
obligation. The term "public office" is defined as set forth in the Income
Withholding for
Support Act. In this Section, "location information" means information about
(i) the physical
whereabouts of a putative father or noncustodial parent, (ii) the employer of
the putative father or
noncustodial parent, or (iii) the salary, wages, and other compensation paid
and the health
insurance coverage provided to the putative father or noncustodial parent by
the employer of the
putative father or noncustodial parent or by a labor union of which the
putative father or
noncustodial parent is a member.
An employer, labor union, or telephone company shall respond to the request of
the
public office within 15 days after receiving the request. Any employer, labor
union, or telephone
company that willfully fails to fully respond within the 15-day period shall be
subject to a penalty
of $100 for each day that the response is not provided to the public office
after the 15-day period
has expired. The penalty may be collected in a civil action, which may be
brought against the
employer, labor union, or telephone company in favor of the public office.
(b) Upon being served with a subpoena (including an administrative subpoena
as
authorized by law), a utility company or cable television company must provide
location
information to a public office for the purpose of establishing a child's
paternity or establishing,
enforcing, or modifying a child support obligation.
(c) Notwithstanding the provisions of any other State or local law to the
contrary, an
employer, labor union, telephone company, utility company, or cable television
company shall
not be liable to any person for disclosure of location information under the
requirements of this
Section, except for willful and wanton misconduct.
