2
Whereas, President Gerald R. Ford Jr. signed the Social Services
3
Amendments of 1974 (H.R. 17045), into law on January 4, 1975, creating the
4
federal child support program as we know it today; and
AJR34,1,7
5
Whereas, President Ford recognized the importance of child support at the
6
time, calling it “a major piece of domestic legislation and a significant step forward
7
in Federal-State relations”; and
AJR34,1,10
8
Whereas, Wisconsin’s child support program is administered by the
9
Department of Children and Families and operated by 71 county child support
10
agencies and nine tribal child support agencies; and
AJR34,1,13
11
Whereas, child support is one of the most effective anti-poverty programs in
12
the nation, and analysis of Wisconsin data shows that child support closed the
13
poverty gap by an average of 44 percent; and
AJR34,2,2
1
Whereas, in fiscal year 2023, the Wisconsin child support program served
2
341,000 children and collected $841 million in economic support; and
AJR34,2,6
3
Whereas, by collaborating with their communities, county, state, and tribal
4
child support agencies and programs serve children and families by providing
5
needs-specific resources to assist families while encouraging family self-sufficiency;
6
and
AJR34,2,10
7
Whereas, over the past half century, the child support program has evolved to
8
include initiatives that connect parents to important services—including
9
employment training and treatment courts—so the parents can develop strong and
10
healthy relationships with their children; and
AJR34,2,13
11
Whereas, Wisconsin has hundreds of hard-working child support
12
professionals who help fathers establish legal rights to their children, establish and
13
enforce support orders, and secure private health insurance for children; and
AJR34,2,16
14
Whereas, Wisconsin’s child support program is a national leader, ranking
15
third in the nation for the collection and distribution of current support; now,
16
therefore, be it
AJR34,2,21
17
Resolved by the
assembly
, the
senate
concurring, That
the members of
18
the Wisconsin Legislature honor January 4, 2025, as the 50th Anniversary of the
19
child support program and commend the county, state, and tribal agency staff
20
members who work to promote financial security for Wisconsin children and
21
families.
