Referred Judicial Proceedings (Senate)

Summary

The bill lets the Child Support Administration assign any support rights for a child receiving foster care maintenance payments to the State of Maryland when appropriate. It also requires a court to end a previously established or assigned child support order for such a child without needing a showing of a material change in circumstance, once the administration determines the order is no longer appropriate. This aims to streamline support handling for children in foster care.
