MD HB412

Requires the Child Support Enforcement Administration to verify that license suspension is appropriate before notifying MVA, specifically confirming the obligor has funds to pay but is consciously choosing to withhold payment, and that other collection methods have failed

Adds new grounds for obligors to contest license suspension: the minor child residing primarily with the obligor, or compliance with an existing payment agreement or court order for scheduled arrearage payments

Expands hardship protections to include undue hardship on the minor child or child support recipient, not just the obligor

Requires both written and electronic notice to obligors of proposed suspension actions and investigation results

Takes effect October 1, 2026
