ASSUMPTION
Officials from the Office of State Courts Administrator assume the proposed legislation would have no fiscal impact on the courts.
Officials from the Department of Social Services state the Division of Child Support Enforcement (DCSE) currently sends a copy of an administrative wage withholding on a non-custodial parent to the circuit clerk of the appropriate court when the withholding is implemented. The proposed legislation would eliminate that requirement, resulting in reduced office supply and postage costs. DCSE estimates the savings to the General Revenue Fund to be $6,300 in FY 04; $7,790 in FY 05; and $8,024 in FY 06. DCSE estimates the savings to Federal Funds to be $12,230 in FY 04; $15,122 in FY 05; and $15,576 in FY 06.

FISCAL IMPACT - Small Business

DESCRIPTION
The proposed legislation would delete the requirement that the Division of Family Services must file all income withholding orders with the circuit clerk in child support cases.
This legislation is not federally mandated, would not duplicate any other program and would not require additional capital improvements or rental space.
