AI Summary
This bill, the Unborn Child Support Act, proposes to amend the Social Security Act to ensure that child support for unborn children is collected and distributed under the child support enforcement program. The key provisions include:
1. Requiring state child support plans to provide for the establishment and enforcement of child support obligations of the biological father of an unborn child, starting from the first month of conception if requested by the mother. The payment amount would be determined by a court, considering the best interests of the mother and child.
2. Prohibiting any experimental, pilot, or demonstration projects under the Social Security Act from modifying the provisions related to establishing and enforcing child support obligations for unborn children.
3. The amendments would take effect 2 years after the date of enactment and apply to payments under the child support enforcement program for calendar quarters beginning on or after that date.
