IA HF2625

Child support services and agencies gain authority to subpoena records from digital financial accounts—defined as online accounts that store, transfer, or receive money digitally—even when such information is otherwise confidential under law.

Subpoenaed records may include identifying information, transaction histories, deposit/withdrawal records, employment-related payments, contractor payments, and other income relevant to establishing, modifying, or enforcing child support obligations.

A parent or putative father who fails to comply with a subpoena without good cause commits a Class "D" felony, punishable by up to 5 years confinement and fines between $1,025 and $10,245.

The bill amends Iowa Code Section 252B.9 to add these provisions regarding digital financial account information requests.
