HB 41-CHILD SUPPORT ENFORCEMENT/SOC SEC. # CHAIR DYSON announced the committee would again consider HOUSE BILL NO. 41, "An Act repealing the termination date of changes made by ch. 87, SLA 1997 and ch. 132, SLA 1998 regarding child support enforcement and related programs; repealing the nonseverability provision of ch. 132, SLA 1998; repealing certain requirements for applicants for hunting and sport fishing licenses or tags, and for certain hunting permits, to provide social security numbers for child support enforcement purposes; and providing for an effective date." CHAIR DYSON noted that the previous hearing had been recessed with one unresolved issue, but that he and the department [DCED] are now in agreement. He confirmed that the committee would be working off of Version F [22-GH1002\F, Lauterbach, 2/16/01], which rolled SB 19 [CSSB 19(HES), except for the title] into HB 41. RANDALL LORENZ, Staff to Representative Fred Dyson, Alaska State Legislature, speaking as the committee aide for the House Health, Education and Social Services Standing Committee, informed members that the only difference between SB 19 [CSSB 19(HES)] and HB 41 [Version F] is the inclusion of Representative Coghill's change from five years to two years [for the sunset date, Section 16 - from 2006 to 2003]. Number 0210 CHAIR DYSON remarked that the letter [dated February 21, 2001] from Ms. Miklos, Director of Child Safety Enforcement Division (CSED), includes CSED's proposal to solve the problem when the noncustodial parent - the obligor - is paying child support via payroll deductions; if CSED receives the money in the last few days of the month, the money gets credited to that month instead of the next month, for which it is intended. Chair Dyson noted that the director has proposed to change the wording in AS 25.27.103 to say that if [the money] comes in the last five days of the month and [was made in the course of regular wage withholding], it would be credited to the next month. Chair Dyson said he had asked Ms. Miklos, prior to the meeting, whether she would object to the insertion of "business" between "five" and "days", so that it would read "five business days"; he requested confirmation from Ms. Miklos that she had no objection. Number 0314 BARBARA MIKLOS, Director, Child Safety Enforcement Division, Department of Revenue, came forth and remarked that Chair Dyson was correct in his statement, and that she had no objection. Number 0340 CHAIR DYSON made a motion to adopt a conceptual amendment "here, in the middle of this page, to [AS] 25.27.103, as written, with the word 'business' inserted." There being no objection, the conceptual amendment was adopted. CHAIR DYSON asked whether there was further discussion about HB 41, as modified to reflect SB 19, Representative Coghill's amendment regarding the sunset date, and the clarifying language just added regarding billings that come in on the last five business days. Number 0410 REPRESENTATIVE COGHILL made a motion to move Version F [22- GH1002\F, Lauterbach, 2\16\01], as amended, out of committee with individual recommendations. He remarked that there had been discussion about "re-amending that date" but said he would like it to go through conference committee just for the committee's information. CHAIR DYSON noted that Ms. Miklos had nodded. He then asked whether there was any objection to the motion. There being no objection, CSHB 41(HES) moved from the House Health, Education and Social Services Standing Committee.
