Summary

The bill revises how child‑support papers are served, adds automatic support reductions for parents jailed over 90 days, and prevents license‑suspension for low‑income obligors. It also lets courts base support on a parent’s prior high earnings and gives a 60‑day grace period before enforcement if the parent is unemployed or under‑earning. These changes aim to make the system fairer and less punitive for vulnerable families.
