This provision shall apply to any installments of income tax or child support due, after the first installment, to require payment of the entire balance of child support tax due, plus interest and penalty, if any, before an officer or employee of the State of Mississippi, or any political subdivision thereof, is eligible to draw any salary or other emoluments of office.

The Department of Revenue may, in its discretion, waive the provisions of this subsection on behalf of any public officer or employee in the event of an extended personal illness, an extended illness in his immediate family or other emergency. Regardless of the amount designated in the Department of Human Service’s notice for withholding and regardless of other fees imposed or amounts withheld pursuant to this section, the payor shall not deduct from the income of the officer or employee in excess of the amounts allowed under Section 303(b) of the Consumer Credit Protection Act, being 15 USCS 1673, as amended.

(3) The tax or child support payment may be paid with uncertified check during such time and under such regulations as the commissioner or the Department of Human Services shall prescribe, but if the check so received is not paid by the bank on which it is drawn, the officer or employee for whom such check is tendered shall remain liable for the payment of the tax, child support payment and for all penalties, the same as if such check had not been tendered.

(4) If a corporation is subject to LIFO recapture pursuant to Section 1363(d) of the Code, then:
