        (a)  Requirement.--When a support order or income-withholding
     order issued in another state is registered, the registering
     tribunal shall notify the nonregistering party. The notice must
     be accompanied by a copy of the registered order and the
     documents and relevant information accompanying the order.
        (b)  Contents.--The notice must inform the nonregistering
     party of all of the following:
            (1)  That a registered order is enforceable as of the
        date of registration in the same manner as an order issued by
        a tribunal of this State.
            (2)  That a hearing to contest the validity or
        enforcement of the registered order must be requested within
        20 days after the date of mailing or personal service of the
        notice.
            (3)  That failure to contest the validity or enforcement
        of the registered order in a timely manner will result in
        confirmation of the order and enforcement of the order and
        the alleged arrearages and will preclude further contest of
        that order with respect to any matter that could have been
        asserted.
            (4)  The amount of any alleged arrearages.
        (c)  Employer.--Upon registration of an income-withholding
     order for enforcement, the registering tribunal shall notify the
