A 1149 New Jersey General Assembly · 2024-2025 Regular Session

Establishes the New Jersey Task Force on Child Support Reform.

This bill establishes a 16-member New Jersey Task Force on Child Support Reform to study the state's current child support program. The task force includes agency heads, legislative members, and six public appointees (child support professionals and community members) who will examine laws, policies, and procedures. Over 18 months, the task force will identify issues and recommend changes to create a more effective program, consulting with groups like Advocates for Children of New Jersey and Rutgers' social work school. The task force will submit its final report to the Governor and Legislature within 18 months, after which it will dissolve. This bill does not change child support laws directly but sets up a review process for future policy decisions.
