Senate Bill 716 |
Senate Author: Harris |
|
Effective: 9-1-11 |
House Sponsor: Jackson, Jim |
Previous law required the attorney general's office to biennially submit a report containing certain data relating to child support to the legislative committees having jurisdiction over family law issues for use in the committees' periodic review of child support guidelines. Senate Bill 716 amends the Family Code to instead require the attorney general's office, at least once every four years, to review the state's child support guidelines as required by federal law and report the results of the review and any recommendations for any changes to the guidelines and their manner of application to the committees.
