Bill Summary
An Act relating to marriage and family; amending 43 O.S. 2021, Section 139, which relates to legal rights to child support; allowing the discretionary revocation of driver permits and licenses; amending 43 O.S. 2021, Section 139.1, which relates to penalties; allowing revocation of driving privileges for failure to pay child support; and providing an effective date.
AI Summary
This bill allows for the discretionary revocation, suspension, nonissuance, or nonrenewal of a person's driving privilege if they are at least ninety (90) days behind on child support payments or fail to comply with related legal orders, such as subpoenas or warrants. This measure amends existing Oklahoma law to include driver licenses alongside other recreational licenses and permits that can be affected by unpaid child support, aiming to encourage compliance with child support obligations and reduce the financial burden on the state. The bill also specifies that these actions can be taken by district or administrative courts and clarifies that this is an additional enforcement tool beyond existing legal remedies, with provisions for probation and reinstatement of privileges under certain conditions, and sets an effective date of November 1, 2026.
