5 Work Reconciliation Act of 1996 which mandated that the State
6 of Illinois establish a State Disbursement Unit by October 1,
7 1999; and
8 WHEREAS, Senate Bill 1063 created the State Disbursement
9 Unit on October 1, 1999, centralizing the collection of child

11 than through 102 separate Circuit Clerk Offices throughout
12 the State; and
13 WHEREAS, The Illinois Department of Public Aid was
14 required to inform those who would be affected by the changes
15 in child support payments caused by Senate Bill 1063; and
16 WHEREAS, In the month of October 1999 the State
17 Disbursement Unit, under the direction of the Illinois
18 Department of Public Aid, failed to issue thousands of child
19 support payments due to bad planning and program
20 mismanagement when creating and testing capabilities of a
21 centralized system; therefore, be it
22 RESOLVED, BY THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES OF THE
23 NINETY-FIRST GENERAL ASSEMBLY OF THE STATE OF ILLINOIS, that
24 the members of the House of Representatives call upon the
