New Jersey S1538 grants courts more discretion in suspending or revoking licenses and reporting credit for non-payment of child support.

New Jersey S1538 amends existing laws to give courts more discretion in handling child support-related license suspensions and credit reporting. The bill allows courts to consider suspending or revoking a driver's license before other licenses if certain conditions are met. It also permits courts to allow obligors to pay a lump sum of child support arrearages within a longer timeframe. Additionally, the bill modifies the conditions under which licenses can be suspended or revoked, including allowing for payment plans and considering hardship cases.
