Senate panel approves moving select child support rules from IDAPA into statute
Summary
Representative Lucas Kaler presented House Bill 336 to move portions of IDAPA child support rules into statute; committee members voted to advance the bill after the sponsor highlighted changes including authority to intercept support for foster care and credit-report notifications for overdue support.
Representative Lucas Kaler (District 11) told the Senate Health and Welfare Committee that House Bill 336 transfers provisions from IDAPA related to child support services into statute.
Kaler outlined several provisions being moved or altered from rule into statute: authority for the department to intercept and retain child support from an obligor parent to assist with foster care placement; the department’s ability to notify consumer reporting agencies when overdue support exceeds $2,000 and is at least three months past due; a new statutory section addressing review and modification of support orders; and the striking of a prior rule requirement related to income withholding under judicial proceedings. Kaler also noted changes related to enforcement of medical support and the department fee schedule language.
