SUMMARY
This amendment deletes sections from the bill that authorize the court to issue summary process for contempt based on failure to comply with an administrative child support order and that create joint and several liability of a responsible person for failure to timely send to the Department of Health and Human Services support payments that have been withheld pursuant to a withholding order.
This amendment extends the application of the child support table to $400,000, the actual top income amount on the child support table, rather than referring to the highest income amount in the table.
This amendment extends the application of the self-support reserve in the child support table to incomes up to $22,800.
This amendment deletes the repeal of reporting requirements concerning administrative license revocation.
This amendment corrects the bill to appropriately repeal only the subsection referring to personal service of notices of child support and liens in the Maine Revised Statutes, Title 19-A, section 2253. The bill inaccurately repeals the entire section.
