Senators Jacko, Rieger, Sharp.                                                 
                                                                               
                                Letter of Intent                               
                                      for                                      
                               CS for SB 190(FIN)                              
                                                                               
Apart from the statutory changes enacted in this bill,                        
the legislature wishes to convey its intent that the                           
Child Support Enforcement Division distinguish                                 
between obligors, employers and others who                                     
voluntarily meet their support, withholding or other                           
obligations under this chapter and those who do not.                           
To the extent allowed by this chapter and federal                              
law, this distinction should be actively reflected in                          
all agency communications as well as in the nature,                            
extent and timing of enforcement actions, subject to                           
reasonable precautions to avoid uncollectability of                            
funds necessary for support.                                                   
                                                                               
Fiscal notes for the committee substitute published today from                 
Department of Revenue, Alaska Court System.
