TO REPEAL THE LAW REQUIRING THE OFFICE OF CHILD SUPPORT ENFORCEMENT TO SUBMIT A REPORT CONCERNING THE CHILD SUPPORT ENFORCEMENT PROGRAM.
SB 380 repeals a requirement that the Office of Child Support Enforcement submit semiannual reports to the Legislative Council about the child support program's performance and progress. This bill directly affects the Office of Child Support Enforcement within Arkansas' Department of Finance and Administration, removing its obligation to file these reports. The key change is eliminating the specific reporting mandate outlined in Arkansas Code § 25-10-118, which previously required the office to document program administration under federal law. The bill does not alter child support enforcement policies or funding, only the reporting process. It became law as Act 439 on April 7, 2025.
