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 a part of the Department of Human Services, to take steps to transfer a child's right to receive financial support from a parent to the State when that child is receiving foster care maintenance payments, which are payments made to cover the costs of a child living in foster care. It also requires courts to end any existing child support orders for a child receiving these foster care payments if the Child Support Administration or a related local agency determines the order is no longer necessary, without needing to prove a significant change in circumstances.
