H.B. 2201 - Professional License Sanctions for Nonpayment of Child Support

"Several years ago, the Legislature created a sanction against professional licenses that judges could apply when they found a parent in contempt of court for nonpayment of child support. HB 2201 will allow judges to use the same sanction in hearings that do not involve contempt of court, so long as the past due support totals more than $1,000. SRS believes this is a logical and moderate extension of the court's current authority."
