SENATOR TAYLOR brought CSHB 362(HES) am (CHILD SUPPORT: CRIMINAL/CIVIL REMEDIES) before the committee. He directed attention to a proposed Judiciary SCS, which addresses Senator Donley's concern that families be able to at least show the court that they have made a reasonable effort to restrain their child, and that that could be utilized as a defense against suit. PHIL PETRI, Child Support Enforcement Division, Department of Revenue, explained that the primary purpose of the first part of the bill is to change the statute of limitations, and the second part relates to aiding and abetting an individual in not paying their child support. He urged passage of the Judiciary SCS, stating that the division vitally needs the change to the statute of limitations, and the aiding and abetting portion will be a helpful tool to try to increase collections. Number 386 SENATOR TAYLOR pointed out that in the Judiciary SCS the word "person" was changed to "obligor." There being no further testimony on HB 362, SENATOR TAYLOR stated he would entertain a motion on the committee substitute. SENATOR LITTLE moved that SCS CSHB 362(JUD) be adopted. Hearing no objection, the motion carried. SENATOR LITTLE moved that SCS CSHB 362(JUD) be passed out of committee with individual recommendations. Hearing no objection, it was so ordered.
