Summary

The measure changes Utah law so that when a juvenile court puts a child in state custody or under a guardianship, the child's parent or other responsible adult must pay support to the state. It spells out how the court must give notice, how the Office of Recovery Services calculates the amount, and it protects people whose only income is a disability benefit. The bill also updates the presumption of parentage and makes technical adjustments.
