AI Summary

  • Amends Alaska law to align with the Uniform Interstate Family Support Act (UIFSA) by adding "Indian tribe" and "United States Virgin Islands" to the definition of "state" for child support enforcement purposes.

  • Expands the crime of aiding nonpayment of child support to include cases involving cash medical support orders and creates a rebuttable presumption that receiving substantial assets below fair market value from an obligor constitutes knowing participation in support avoidance.

  • Requires courts and agencies to issue medical support orders, cash medical support orders, or both in all child support cases, with equal allocation of health insurance costs between parents unless good cause exists for unequal allocation.

  • Authorizes the agency to correct clerical mistakes and vacate administrative support orders based on default amounts at any time, without requiring obligor motion.

  • Establishes a three-year cycle for periodic review and adjustment of child support orders and defines "arrearage" to include monetary support, cash medical support, health care costs, attorney fees, and other court-ordered relief.
