FOC: ELECTRONIC PAYMENTS H.B. 5627 (S-2): FLOOR ANALYSIS
House Bill 5627 (Substitute S-2 as reported) Sponsor: Representative Eric Bush
House Committee: Judiciary and Civil Rights
Senate Committee: Families, Mental Health and Human Services
The bill would amend the Friend of the Court Act to require the Office of the Friend of the Court (FOC) to use electronic means to receive, record, and disburse support payments beginning on January 1, 1998, so that support money was disbursed immediately upon receipt.
MCL 552.509 Legislative Analyst: L. Burghardt
The bill would have no additional fiscal impact as electronic means to receive, record, and disburse payments are currently being used by many FOCs and will be by many others due to the implementation of the Federally mandated child support enforcement system.
Date Completed: 12-6-96 Fiscal Analyst: M. Ortiz
