Establishes greater discretion in court concerning child support related license suspension and credit reporting.
This bill (S 3341) gives courts more discretion when deciding whether to suspend licenses (like driver's or professional licenses) for people who owe child support. It requires the Probation Division to send written notice to the obligor (the parent owing support) with 30 days to pay arrears, provide health coverage, or request a hearing before license suspension. If the obligor doesn't respond, courts can now suspend licenses without a hearing but must first verify the notice was properly delivered and that the Probation Division made a "diligent effort" to locate the obligor. The bill directly affects parents who owe child support and changes the process for license suspension, not the core requirement of six months of arrears.
