2003 House Bill 4634

Introduced in the House

May 6, 2003

Introduced by Rep. Michael Murphy (D-68)

To establish a “children's trustee for child support” office in the Department of Treasury, which would be responsible for ensuring that child support payments from non-custodial parents are delivered to the custodial parent. Under current law these payments are funneled through the state. In recent years almost $1 million annually in child support payments collected by the state have been deposited into the general fund because the state was unable to locate the custodial parent.

Referred to the Committee on Families and Childrens Services
