Prime Sponsor:
Joint
Judiciary Interim Committee

Catch Title:
Child
support enforcement fees.

Subject:
Authorizes the Department of Family Services to
collect a federally mandated fee for specified child support enforcement
services.

Summary/Major Elements:

The federal Deficit Reduction
Act of 2005 requires every state to pay a fee of $25 annually for every child
support enforcement case in which the state collects at least $500 from an
obligor, except the requirement shall not apply if the obligee is, or has been,
a recipient of public benefits.

This act:

Requires the Department of
Family Services (DFS) to collect the annual fee required by federal law from an
obligee, when the obligee receives over $500 per year in child support as a
result of DFS involvement on behalf of the obligee who has not received public
benefits;

Authorizes the court issuing
a child support order to assess the annual fee against the obligor, if the fee
may be required;

Provides an appropriation of
$300,000 to DFS to implement this act, but requires DFS to obtain the prior
approval of the Department's chief information officer for any proposed
purchases of computer equipment or software, and the prior approval of the
Governor for any other expenditures from this appropriation.
