What’s in it
This bill relates to fees for services provided by the child support recovery unit (unit). Currently, individuals who apply for child support services in nonassistance cases pay a $25 application fee. The bill eliminates the $25 application fee. The bill also amends the provision relating to the payment of an annual fee for individuals who receive services from the unit in nonassistance cases. The current state statute specifies that the annual fee is $25 and is collected from the obligee after $500 in support has been distributed to the family.
Read the full explanation
Under the bill, which cites to the revised federal law, the fee will be $35 and will be collected from the obligee after $550 in support has been distributed to the family. By citing directly to the federal law rather than specifying an amount in state statute, any changes in the federal law will automatically govern the amount of the annual fee without the need for changes in the state statute. The bill also makes conforming changes.
