MN SF2123

Modifies Minnesota Statutes 2010, section 518A.40, subdivision 4, regarding child care support collection by public authorities.

Public authority must suspend collecting child care expense amounts when either party informs them no child care costs are being incurred and the public authority verifies this information with the obligee.

Public authority must also suspend collection if the obligee fails to provide verification within 30 days after a request for information regarding child care costs.

Suspension becomes effective the first day of the month following verification or failure to provide information; collection resumes when either party reports child care costs are being incurred or a child care support assignment takes effect.

If parties provide conflicting information about child care expenses, the public authority continues or resumes collection, and either party may challenge the suspension through a court motion.
