Relating to: the assignment of child support orders and arrears to the state when a child enters foster care and the role of the Department of Children and Families, county departments of human and social services, and juvenile courts in referring, collecting, and ordering child support. (FE)

Summary

The measure repeals and rewrites many existing laws so that any child support order or arrears for a child placed in foster care is assigned to the state. It tells the Department of Children and Families, county human services and juvenile courts when to refer parents for enforcement, such as when a parent’s income is very high or the child receives adoption assistance. The goal is to centralize collection and make sure the money supports the child’s care.
