Honorable Robert Duncan, Chair, Senate Committee on Jurisprudence
FROM:
John Keel, Director, Legislative Budget Board
IN RE:
HB3087 by Hodge (Relating to a release or satisfaction of a judgment for child support arrearages.), As Engrossed
No significant fiscal implication to the State is anticipated.
The bill would authorize the Office of the Attorney General (OAG) to provide release and satisfaction of a judgment for the amount of arrearages that had been held in abeyance of enforcement. This provision would apply only in circumstances where the child support obligor met conditions set by court order in proceedings related to the abeyance of enforcement. The OAG indicates minimal operational impact.
Local Government Impact
No significant fiscal implication to units of local government is anticipated. Local governments may incur minimal costs to develop forms and procedures to implement the bill.
