HF 2519: Relating to collection of accrued interest on unpaid child support by the department of health and human services

Died when the session ended · The 2026 session adjourned on May 3, 2026, the General Assembly’s last regular session. Bills that didn’t pass both chambers died.

What it does

This bill requires the department of health and human services (HHS) to collect interest accrued on unpaid child support debt, and allows HHS to collect the interest without first obtaining a court order. Under current law, HHS may collect the accrued interest but is not required to maintain interest balance accounts for accrued interest on support debts. The bill removes language related to HHS maintaining interest balance accounts for accrued interest on support debts.
