481	481	17 (d) If a defendant ordered to pay child support under this
482	482	18 Section is unable to make the required payments because the
483	483	19 defendant is confined or imprisoned in a correctional
484	484	20 facility, the defendant shall begin payments not later than
485	485	21 the first anniversary of the date of the defendant's release
486	486	22 from the facility. The defendant may enter into a payment plan
487	487	23 to address any arrearage that exists on the date of the
