Relating to the administration of the Title IV-D agency, the powers and duties of the Title IV-D agency regarding the collection, modification, and enforcement of child support, and to certain procedures for cases and orders relating to the Title IV-D agency.

HB 4034 modifies how Texas's Title IV-D child support agency operates. It allows remote communication in child support cases (eliminating a requirement for in-person proceedings), shields the agency from liability for mediation costs in support orders, and permits suspending enforcement against a paying parent if the recipient parent is jailed for family violence against a child. The bill also requires the agency to adjust child support payments for parents incarcerated for 180+ days, based on income during confinement, and provides procedures for notifying parents of these adjustments. These changes directly affect the state agency, paying parents, and recipient parents in child support enforcement cases.
