Implementing recommendations of the 2023 child support schedule work group.
House Bill 1014 updates Washington state's child support schedule, directly affecting parents and children involved in child support orders. It raises the combined monthly net income threshold where courts can exceed the standard economic table from $12,000 to $50,000. The bill also adjusts the presumptive minimum support obligation, increasing the federal poverty guideline percentage used for its determination from 125% to 180% for a one-person family. Additionally, it clarifies how a parent's self-support reserve is applied and specifies which income sources, such as overtime and second jobs, are included or excluded when calculating gross monthly income for support.

The bill text was updated to include a formal certification of enrollment, confirming that the House and Senate passed the legislation on specific dates with recorded vote counts. This addition serves as an official record of the bill's final passage and is a standard procedural step before the bill becomes law.
TECHNICAL
Added a certification block at the beginning of the document to formally record the dates of passage and vote counts for both the House and Senate.
Removed a list of specific line numbers and section references from the middle of the document, likely related to internal tracking or amendment markup.
