|
| | Emergency preamble. Whereas, acts of the Legislature do not become | effective until 90 days after adjournment unless enacted as | emergencies; and |
|
| | Whereas, the Department of Health and Human Services is finding | it more difficult to locate parents delinquent in child support; | and |
|
| | Whereas, the sooner the Department of Health and Human Services | has the authority to obtain information from wireless service | providers, the sooner the department will be able to locate | delinquent parents; and |
|
| | Whereas, in the judgment of the Legislature, these facts create | an emergency within the meaning of the Constitution of Maine and | require the following legislation as immediately necessary for | the preservation of the public peace, health and safety; now, | therefore, |
|
| Be it enacted by the People of the State of Maine as follows: |
|
| | Sec. 1. 19-A MRSA §2158 is enacted to read: |
|
| §2158.__Access to wireless service provider's records of |
|
| individuals who owe child support |
