SB3513 Summary

• Allows obligors with child support arrearages to petition courts or child support administrative bodies for a stay order to prevent driver's license suspension for up to 12 months.

• Obligor must prove by clear and convincing evidence that the suspension should be stayed and that child support obligations will be paid.

• Courts must review stay orders every 90 days to verify the obligor is employed, seeking employment, participating in job training, or self-employed, with discretion to extend beyond 12 months upon good cause shown.

• If employed, obligor must sign wage garnishment, wage assignment agreements, or employer withholding requests; if unemployed, must actively seek employment through the Department of Employment Security and provide documentation of efforts.

• Court may terminate the stay order and immediately suspend the driver's license if the obligor fails to meet any provisions, and may impose additional sanctions.
