S 4406 New Jersey Senate · 2024-2025 Regular Session

Clarifies child support obligation notice and certification requirements for applicants for State licenses.

This bill requires New Jersey state license applicants (such as for driver's licenses, professional permits, or recreational licenses) to certify on a separate form that they are not behind on child support payments (specifically, with no arrears exceeding six months of payments) and have met other conditions like providing court-ordered health coverage for six months. The form, signed under penalty of perjury, also explains the legal basis for license suspension due to unpaid child support and the right to a hearing if the applicant disputes the obligation. Licensing authorities cannot issue or renew a license if an applicant has child support arrears exceeding six months, hasn't provided required health coverage, or is subject to a warrant. The bill clarifies that applicants who dispute their obligation can request a hearing within 20 days, during which the license cannot be suspended.
