Equitable Outcomes in Child Support Collection Act modifies child support collection procedures for children in DCPP custody.
The Equitable Outcomes in Child Support Collection Act revises procedures for collecting child support on behalf of children in the custody of the Division of Child Protection and Permanency (DCPP). It removes existing provisions that require legally responsible persons to reimburse the Department of Children and Families for maintenance costs incurred while the child was in DCPP care. The act aligns with a 2022 federal policy that allows states to define more narrowly when it is appropriate to seek child support from legally responsible persons.
