04:23 PM -- Senate Bill 12-042

Representative Summers, prime sponsor, described the provisions of Senate Bill 042 concerning child support requirements and federal law (Attachment H ). The reengrossed bill brings state child support enforcement into compliance with federal law by requiring the Department of Human Services (DHS) or its agents to locate and secure assets of persons who owe child support in another state when requested by the other state; and the DHS and financial institutions to conduct data matches to identify assets of persons owing child support on a quarterly basis, rather than semiannually.
