Bill Summary
Authorizing the Child Support Administration to take action to secure an assignment to the State of any rights to support on behalf of a child receiving foster care maintenance payments; and requiring a court to terminate a child support order that was previously established or assigned for a child receiving a foster care maintenance payment under certain circumstances.
AI Summary
This bill allows the Child Support Administration, which is the state agency responsible for collecting child support payments, to take steps to transfer a child's right to receive support payments to the State when that child is receiving foster care maintenance payments, which are payments made to help cover the costs of caring for a child in foster care. Additionally, the bill requires a court to end any existing child support order for a child who is receiving foster care maintenance payments if the Child Support Administration or a related local agency determines that the order is no longer necessary, without needing to prove a significant change in circumstances.
