CHILD SUPPORT/LICENSE ACTIONS H.B. 5385 (S-1): FLOOR ANALYSIS
House Bill 5385 (Substitute S-1 as reported) Sponsor: Representative Sharon Gire House Committee: Human Services
Senate Committee: Families, Mental Health and Human Services
The bill would create the “Regulated Occupation Support Enforcement Act” to require an occupational regulatory agency to comply with a license suspension order issued as provided in the Support and Parenting Time Enforcement Act within seven business days after receiving the suspension order. The bill would take effect January 1, 1997.
An order rescinding a suspension order issued under the Support and Parenting Time Enforcement Act would be effective upon its entry by the court and payment by the licensee of the customary reinstatement fee, if any, charged by the occupational regulatory agency. The occupational regulatory agency would have to reinstate the license of a licensee whose suspension order was rescinded within seven business days after receiving the rescission order and payment of the appropriate reinstatement fee. An occupational regulatory agency would have to send a notice of the license reinstatement to the licensee upon reinstatement.
“Occupational regulatory agency” would mean a department, bureau, or agency of this State that had regulatory authority over a regulated occupation. “Regulated occupation” would mean an occupation, profession, or vocation that required a license as a predicate for the practice of the occupation, profession, or vocation or that provided for the use of a specific title in the practice of the occupation, profession, or vocation. “License” would mean a certificate, registration, or license issued by an occupational regulatory agency that allowed an individual either to engage in a regulated occupation or to use a specific title in the practice of an occupation, profession, or vocation.
The bill is tie-barred to Senate Bill 881 and to House Bills 5384 and 5386 to 5389, which would amend various acts to provide for the suspension of an occupational license or a driver’s license for failure to pay a support arrearage or to comply with a parenting time order.
