AI Summary

  • Subsequent delinquent child support installments would accrue to an existing lien on the date the delinquency is reported to the Clerk of the Superior Court.

  • Establishes that the priority date for child support liens among conflicting security interests is the date the lien is first docketed.

  • Allows execution on Title IV-D child support judgments without revival within 20 years after the most recent delinquent payment was reported to the Clerk of the Superior Court.

  • Applies to both new judgments and existing enforceable judgments established before the bill's effective date.
