SB 1246 Support payments to Department of Juvenile Justice.

Introduced by: William C. Mims | all patrons    ...    notes | add to my profiles

SUMMARY AS PASSED: (all summaries)

Support payments to Department of Juvenile Justice. Provides that the Department of Juvenile Justice can apply to the Department of Social Services for child support when a juvenile is committed to its custody. The amount of child support a parent or other responsible party has to pay would be determined in accordance with the child support guideline. Under current law, the juvenile court must conduct an investigation and separate hearing to determine how much the responsible person should pay, and then must order such payment. The bill's purpose is to streamline the system by permitting payments to be established and obtained through the existing system afforded by the Division of Child Support Enforcement in the Department of Social Services, rather than on a case-by-case court adjudication. The bill also eliminates the roster now required to track children's whereabouts.
