HB 2401: License suspension/notices

Regarding cost savings and efficiencies in mailing notices of possible license suspension for noncompliance with child support orders.

Summary

  • Authorizes the Department of Social and Health Services (DSHS) to, in certain cases, use first-class mail rather than certified mail to serve a parent owing child support with legal notice that the DSHS is seeking sanctions through the Department of Licensing.
  • Eliminates the requirement that a copy of the responsible parent's child support order be included with the notice served upon the parent.
  • Requires the DSHS to provide the responsible parent with a copy of the pertinent child support order upon that parent's request.
