HB 128: EARLY ACKNOWLEDGEMENT OF PATERNITY Number 197 REPRESENTATIVE BETTYE DAVIS, PRIME SPONSOR of HB 128, explained that the intent of HB 128 was to assist the state in its efforts to collect child support payments. She read a sponsor statement, a copy of which is on file in the House Judiciary Committee, Room 120, Capitol Building. In summary, she said that non-support of children was a national epidemic. She said that her bill would require a paternity acknowledgement form be used at the time of birth. She stated that there was a very small fiscal note attached to HB 128, for a one-time upgrade of certain forms. REPRESENTATIVE DAVIS said that passage of HB 128 would allow the state to apply for federal funds for the Child Support Enforcement Division (CSED). She mentioned that the Department of Health and Social Services (DHSS) supported the bill. Number 282 REPRESENTATIVE NORDLUND made a MOTION to PASS CSSSHB 128 (HES) out of committee, with individual recommendations and attached fiscal note. There being no objection, IT WAS SO ORDERED. CHAIRMAN PORTER announced that the committee would take up SB 105 next.
