Bill Summary
This bill relates to orders for child support. The bill defines “digital financial account” as an online account that stores, transfers, or receives moneys digitally. The bill allows child support services or a child support agency to subpoena records relating to digital financial accounts that are relevant to the establishment, modification, or enforcement of a support obligation. A parent or putative father who fails to comply with a subpoena, and who lacks good cause, is guilty of a class “D” felony. A class “D” felony is punishable by confinement for no more than five years and a fine of at least $1,025 but not more than $10,245.
AI Summary
This bill expands the ability of child support services or a child support agency to obtain information needed to establish, modify, or enforce child support orders by allowing them to subpoena records from "digital financial accounts," which are defined as online accounts used for storing, transferring, or receiving money digitally. This means that even if information about these accounts is typically kept confidential, it can now be accessed if it's relevant to a child support obligation, including details like transaction histories or income. Furthermore, the bill establishes penalties for non-compliance, making it a class "D" felony, punishable by up to five years in prison and significant fines, for a parent or a potential father to fail to comply with such a subpoena without a valid reason.
