What’s in it
AI summary People who owe unpaid child support will no longer have their driver's licenses suspended or denied. This change means that state agencies cannot take away a person's ability to drive as a punishment for being late on child support payments.1
Read the official explanation
This bill eliminates the application of child support delinquency licensing sanctions to a license to operate a motor vehicle and to a licensing authority that has the authority to suspend, revoke, deny, or renew a license. Under current law, a person who is ordered to pay support for the benefit of a child, who is three months delinquent on that support obligation and who meets additional criteria may be subject to licensing sanctions. Current law defines “license” as including a license to operate a motor vehicle and “licensing authority” as including an entity of the state that has the authority to suspend or revoke a license or to deny the renewal or issuance of a license, including a license authorizing an individual to operate a motor vehicle.
