CT HB06369

Simplifies health care coverage cost reasonableness standard in child support orders by establishing a single 5% gross income threshold (effective October 1, 2013), replacing the previous two-tier system that differentiated between low-income and non-low-income obligors.

Clarifies and standardizes provisions across multiple statutes (17b-745, 46b-84, 46b-171, 46b-215) regarding types of child health care coverage orders: private/employer insurance, HUSKY Plan Part B enrollment, and cash medical support for premiums or extraordinary medical expenses.

Prohibits courts from ordering cash medical support to offset HUSKY Plan costs against low-income obligors or custodial parents whose children are covered under HUSKY Plans Part A or Part B.

Changes terminology from "special policemen" to "special police officers" in the Bureau of Child Support Enforcement (Section 29-1g) and grants these officers access to all systemic resources available to state police officers for warrant and capias mittimus service.

Expands enforcement authority by allowing judicial marshals under section 46b-225 (in addition to state marshals and special police officers) to execute capiases and warrants in family support matters statewide.
