Bill Summary
This bill clarifies the child support obligation notice and certification requirements for applicants of State licenses. Under current law, a person who applies for a State driver's license, occupational or professional license, or recreational or sporting license is required to certify that the applicant is not in arrears with a child support obligation. A license holder who is in arrears may, after notice and a hearing, have their license suspended or revoked. Under the bill, in order to provide greater notice to license applicants of the child support law, each licensing agency will require applicants to certify on a form promulgated by the Administrative Office of the Courts separate from the license application form. The separate form will also provide applicants with general notice of the legal basis for the enforcement of child support obligations through the licensing process, including the notice and hearing requirements prior to suspension or revocation.
AI Summary
This bill clarifies the process for notifying and certifying child support obligations for individuals applying for state licenses, such as driver's licenses or professional licenses. It mandates that licensing agencies will require applicants to complete a separate form, developed by the Administrative Office of the Courts, to certify their child support status, rather than including this certification on the main license application. This separate form will also inform applicants about the legal basis for enforcing child support through the licensing system, including their rights to notice and a hearing before any license suspension or revocation. The bill aims to provide greater clarity and notice to applicants regarding these requirements.
