 1        AN ACT in relation to support.

 2        Be it enacted by the People of  the  State  of  Illinois,
 3    represented in the General Assembly:

 4        Section  5.   The  Illinois Public Aid Code is amended by
 5    changing Section 10-2 as follows:

 6        (305 ILCS 5/10-2) (from Ch. 23, par. 10-2)
 7        Sec. 10-2.  Extent of Liability. A husband is liable  for
 8    the  support  of  his  wife and a wife for the support of her
 9    husband. The parents are severally liable for the support  of
10    any  child  under  age 21, except that a parent is not liable
11    for a child age 18 or over if the such child  is  not  living
12    with  the parent or parents, and a parent is not liable for a
13    child of any age if the child has married and is  not  living
14    with the parent or parents. A child shall be considered to be
15    living with the parent or parents if the such child is absent
16    from the parent's or parents' home only in order to regularly
17    attend   a  school,  college  or  university  or  to  receive
18    technical  training  designed  for  preparation  for  gainful
19    employment. The term "child" includes a  child  born  out  of
20    wedlock, or legally adopted child.
21        In  addition to the primary obligation of support imposed
22    upon responsible relatives, such relatives,  if  individually
23    or together in any combination they have sufficient income or
24    other  resources  to  support  a needy person, in whole or in
25    part, shall be liable for any financial  aid  extended  under
26    this Code to a person for whose support they are responsible,
27    including amounts expended for funeral and burial costs.
