Fiscal Detail and Notes
In order to meet the requirements of the federal Deficit Reduction Act of 2005, the bill imposes an annual fee in each case in which the state has collected at least $500 in child support on behalf of an individual who has never received assistance under a state program.  The fiscal note assumes there would be 1,800 such cases per year paying a fee of $25 each.
