AI Summary

  • Changes the threshold for driver's license suspension due to child support arrearages from 60 days (non-commercial licenses) to a uniform 120 days for all license types

  • Requires the Child Support Enforcement Administration to make reasonable attempts to notify obligors of noncompliance status through written and electronic means before initiating suspension proceedings

  • Expands grounds for contesting license suspension to include: minor child residing primarily with the obligor, documented disability preventing work, impediment to employment, inability to pay while making reasonable employment efforts, compliance with payment agreements, or undue hardship on the child/recipient/obligor

  • Requires the Administration to verify that suspension is appropriate because the obligor has funds to pay but is consciously withholding payment or is voluntarily impoverished before notifying the Motor Vehicle Administration

  • Mandates license reinstatement when the Administration or court finds suspension is not appropriate, and requires expungement of suspension records upon obligor's request if enrolled in an approved employment program or if the original suspension was based on inaccurate information
