Senate Bill 805, Enactment Clause #2, directs the Child Support Guidelines Review Panel (Panel), in collaboration with the Division of Child Support Enforcement (DCSE), to examine the current outstanding amount of child support arrearages in the Commonwealth. The Panel was further tasked with making recommendations to the General Assembly regarding:

1. Measures to assist child support obligors in paying outstanding arrearages.

2. Whether existing penalties, including restrictions on drivers’ licenses or other professional licenses, unnecessarily impair an obligor’s ability to repay child support arrearages.

This report outlines the Panel’s findings and recommendations.
