Bill > SB244

This bill reorganizes the Department of Law within the Attorney General's office by establishing the Department of Child Support Services and the Office of Data Privacy, and transferring administrative hearing responsibilities to the Office of Administrative Hearings within the Department of Law. The bill makes numerous technical amendments to various Kentucky Revised Statutes to reflect these organizational changes, primarily updating references from the Cabinet for Health and Family Services to the Office of the Attorney General or the Department of Child Support Services in sections related to child support enforcement, administrative hearings, and other administrative proceedings. The changes include creating a new organizational unit within the Department of Law for Child Support Services with five specific offices, revising how administrative hearings are conducted, and ensuring that child support enforcement and related administrative functions are now handled by the Attorney General's office. The bill will take effect on July 1, 2025, and appears to be aimed at streamlining and centralizing certain administrative and child support-related functions within the Department of Law.
