Hearing (House)
Summary
The bill caps how much of a non‑custodial parent's paycheck can be taken for child support at 25% of their disposable earnings when their income is below 250% of the federal poverty line, unless they are voluntarily impoverished. It also requires the withholding order sent to employers to contain specific information and lets the employee challenge the amount if it exceeds the legal limits. The measure aims to protect low‑income obligors while ensuring child‑support payments are still collected.
