Why the model tagged it this way: The bill creates a voluntary pilot program to help noncustodial parents (those who pay support or have less custody) with employment and other services as an alternative to standard enforcement tools for child support arrears or nonpayment. This expands rights/fewer obligations for the paying/less-custodial parent by reducing reliance on enforcement remedies and tracking on-time payments. No other listed topics are substantively addressed.
