Mandates that other collection and enforcement mechanisms must be unsuccessful before license suspension can be pursued

Expands grounds for obligors to contest license suspension, including: the minor child residing primarily with the obligor, compliance with an arrearage payment agreement, or undue hardship on the minor child or support recipient

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