House Bill 1846 amends the Family Code to prohibit a court or the office of the attorney general from staying a license suspension order for failure to pay child support based on an obligor's compliance with a reasonable payment schedule unless the obligor makes an immediate partial payment in an amount specified by the court or attorney general's office. The bill expands the conditions under which a licensing authority may accept an application for license issuance or renewal, after having received notice of the obligor's failure to pay child support for a certain period, to include notification that the obligor made an immediate payment toward the arrearages owed and established a satisfactory payment schedule for the remainder.
