FROM:
Ursula Parks, Director, Legislative Budget Board
IN RE:
HB4122 by Davis, Yvonne (Relating to retroactive child support sought after a child reaches 18 years of age.), Committee Report 1st House, Substituted
No significant fiscal implication to the State is anticipated.
The bill would amend the Family Code to provide that a parent may not seek retroactive child support after the child is eighteen, unless the child is enrolled in school and is in compliance with attendance requirements, or has a disability. Based on the analysis of the Office of Court Administration, duties and responsibilities associated with implementing the provisions of the bill could be accomplished by utilizing existing resources.
Local Government Impact
No significant fiscal implication to units of local government is anticipated.
