What’s in it
AI summary Child support agencies can now request records from online accounts that hold or move money to help set or enforce support payments. If a parent or potential father ignores these requests without a good reason, they could face a felony charge. This charge can lead to up to five years in prison and significant fines.1
Read the official explanation
This bill relates to orders for child support. The bill defines “digital financial account” as an online account that stores, transfers, or receives moneys digitally. The bill allows child support services or a child support agency to subpoena records relating to digital financial accounts that are relevant to the establishment, modification, or enforcement of a support obligation. A parent or putative father who fails to comply with a subpoena, and who lacks good cause, is guilty of a class “D” felony. A class “D” felony is punishable by confinement for no more than five years and a fine of at least $1,025 but not more than $10,245.
