Bill > HF4910

This bill modifies the circumstances under which the public authority must direct child support payments to an obligee (the person owed the support). The key provisions are: - The public authority must provide written notice to the obligee, obligor (the person paying the support), and caregiver when redirecting support payments to the caregiver. - The obligee or obligor can contest the redirection on limited grounds, such as the child no longer residing with the caregiver or the redirection not being in the best interests of the child. - The redirection of support payments to the caregiver will terminate if the caregiver no longer receives public assistance for the child, the voluntary placement agreement expires, the court order placing the child is no longer in effect, or the redirection is determined not to be in the best interests of the child. - The bill sets an effective date of July 1, 2024 for these changes.
