The primary bill
sponsor, Representative Joseph, introduced Senate Bill 24-202 to the Health
and Human Services Committee. The bill removes the requirement for a court
order for this fee, and instead allows a delegate child support enforcement
unit to impose the fee when approved by a county child welfare unit. It
also removes the requirement that the fee be based on the parentâs ability
to pay and that the payment must cover the costs of a guardian ad litem.
The bill also affects the assignment of child support for foster care.
Current law requires the Department of Human Services to reimburse for
child support for the out-of-home placement costs for children placed in
foster care. The bill restricts these assignments to current child support
obligations only, excluding previously accrued amounts. Additionally, a
child support enforcement unit can enforce these child support obligations,
if a county child welfare unit determines a referral is appropriate.
