HB 2679 Uniform Interstate Family Support Act.
Introduced by: David G. Brickley | all patrons ... notes | add to my profiles
SUMMARY:
Uniform Interstate Family Support Act. Modifies the provisions governing income withholding and registration and modification of support orders as recommended by the National Conference of Commissioners on Uniform State Laws. The bill specifies that an obligor's employer must comply with a withholding order from another state which is regular on its face and which expresses the amounts to be withheld as sums certain and as periodic payments. An employer who complies is granted immunity. The law of the obligor's work state will govern the procedural aspects of the withholding (e.g., fees and priorities in cases of multiple support orders). Where all parties reside in the same state, that state may enforce or modify a support order issued in another state using the definitional and long arm provisions of UIFSA and the current home state procedural and substantive law. Finally, the bill eliminates several references to first-class mailing as the only means of providing notice.
