SHIRLEY DEAN, Child Support Enforcement Division, Department of                
Revenue, stated that the division has not had time to research the             
legal and fiscal impacts of the legislation.  However, the attorney            
general's office is working on it right now.                                   
                                                                               
CHAIRMAN GREEN asked if it would be appropriate to revisit this                
bill tomorrow.                                                                 
                                                                               
MS. DEAN stated that she would appreciate that.
