SUBJECT: Chapter 4, Section 4, General Services, Child Support Enforcement.
NATURE OF RULES: Legislative and procedural.
STATUTORY AUTHORITY: W.S. 20-6-106(n).
DETERMINATION OF PROCEDURAL COMPLIANCE BASED UPON INFORMATION
SUBMITTED BY THE AGENCY TO LSO: Apparently complete to date.
SUMMARY OF RULES: The Wyoming Child Support Enforcement Act, W.S. 20-6-101 et seq., requires the Department of Family Services to administer a program, consistent with federal law and regulations, to enforce orders for child support and the provision of health insurance for children. This amendment to existing rules implements a requirement of the federal Deficit Reduction Act of 2005, which requires that child support orders being enforced under Title IV-D of the Social Security Act be reviewed for possible modification every three years.
FINDINGS: The rules appear to be within the scope of statutory authority and legislative intent.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION: That the rules be placed on the Consent List and be approved by the Council as submitted by the Agency.
