A 7005 New York Assembly · 2025 Regular Session

Eliminates the requirement that a driver's license, professional license or recreational license be suspended for failing to pay child support

This bill eliminates the penalty of suspending driver's licenses, professional licenses, or recreational licenses for individuals who fail to pay child support. It directly affects people with outstanding child support obligations who might otherwise face license suspension. The key change removes the legal requirement allowing courts or the Department of Motor Vehicles to suspend licenses due to unpaid child support, ending this enforcement mechanism. The bill amends existing laws in the domestic relations and vehicle traffic codes to reflect this change.
