ARIZONA STATE SENATE
Phoenix, Arizona
support; conforming changes
Makes technical changes and
conforms state statutes with federal statutes relating to modification and
termination of child support or spousal maintenance.
The proposed legislation incorporates recommendations of the Child Support Coordinating Council, established by Laws 1994, Chapter 374, as amended by Laws 2000, Chapter 312. The proposed legislation consists mainly of technical changes for statutory consistency or conforming changes to federal statutes. One provision changes the deadline for payment of the postadjudication fee to be paid within 10 days instead of 20 days. The clerk of the court’s office has experienced difficulty because of the 20-day deadline for payment. Several fees were received after cases had been returned to the original county for nonpayment of the fee. A shorter timeframe should resolve the problem.
There is no anticipated
fiscal impact for this legislation.
1. Changes the deadline for payment of the postadjudication fee on a transfer order from 20 to 10 days after the clerk of the court notice of the requirement to pay the fee.
2. Eliminates redundant language.
3. Makes technical and conforming changes.
4. Provides for a general effective date.
