House Bill 4424 amends the Family Code to clarify that fees collected by the clerk of a court based on the adoption of an operations fee or a child support service fee by the administering agency of a domestic relations office are collected as either operations or service fees. The bill clarifies that operations fees are to be collected at the time of the original suit, motion for modification, or motion for enforcement and child support service fees are to be collected at the time of the original suit.
