(20 ILCS 505/21.1) (from Ch. 23, par. 5021.1)
Sec. 21.1.
In any proceeding in which the Department of Children and
Family Services is a party, books, papers, records, warrants, computer
printouts and memoranda showing the status of financial obligations owed to
the Department of Children and Family Services by any person may be proved
by a photostatic or reproduced copy thereof under the certificate of the
Director of the Department of Children and Family Services. Such certified
copies shall, without further proof, be admitted into evidence in the
hearing before the Department, in an investigation or in any other
proceeding. Nothing in this paragraph is intended to alter the rules
governing admissibility of evidence in proceedings in which financial
obligations owed to the Department are not in issue.
