DIGEST AND PURPOSE 

Currently Texas law states that a child support obligor, who is more than
thirty days delinquent in paying child support is not eligible to receive
payments from state funds, grants or loans, nor may a business entity with
a sole proprietor partner, shareholder, or owner with an ownership of at
least 25 percent who is more than 30 days delinquent with child support
obligations.  As proposed, S.B. 830 would prevent delinquent child support
obligors from receiving educational loans, scholarships, or any other
student financial assistance programs that are either state funded or
state administered. 

RULEMAKING AUTHORITY
