What’s in it
AI summary Instead of the Department of Administrative Services, the Department of Revenue will now handle the process of taking money from a person's government payments to pay off debts they owe. This includes debts like unpaid child support or other qualifying money owed to public agencies. People who have their money taken this way will also have a way to challenge the decision.1
