Bill 118 hr 7906, also known as the Strengthening State and Tribal Child Support Enforcement Act, aims to improve the enforcement of child support payments by states and tribal organizations. The bill focuses on enhancing collaboration between state and tribal child support agencies, as well as increasing the efficiency and effectiveness of child support enforcement efforts.
One key provision of the bill is the requirement for states to establish procedures for recognizing and enforcing child support orders issued by tribal courts. This is intended to ensure that children in tribal communities receive the financial support they are entitled to from non-custodial parents.
Additionally, the bill includes measures to streamline the process for establishing paternity and child support orders, as well as to improve the collection and distribution of child support payments. This includes provisions for utilizing new technologies and data sharing to enhance enforcement efforts.
Overall, the Strengthening State and Tribal Child Support Enforcement Act seeks to strengthen the enforcement of child support obligations, improve outcomes for children in need of financial support, and promote collaboration between state and tribal child support agencies.
