Summary

Amends the Wage Payment and Collection Act. Provides that before employing a person as an employee, an employer shall ask the person whether he or she currently owes a duty to pay child support. Provides that if an employer pays wages in cash to an employee who at the time of payment owes a duty to pay child support and if that payment of wages in cash enables the employee to evade his or her duty to pay child support, then the employer commits a business offense punishable by a fine equal to 3 times the amount of support owed by the employee plus the costs of collecting that support. Provides that upon collecting the fine, the clerk of the court shall pay the amount of the fine to the custodial parent or other legal guardian of the child for whom the employee owed the support, for the benefit of the child.
