Driver License Suspension for Failure to Pay Support

Five-Year Notice of Review and Statement of Continuation

DAR File No.: 42384
Filed: 12/15/2017 07:56:20 AM

NOTICE OF REVIEW AND STATEMENT OF CONTINUATION

Concise explanation of the particular statutory provisions under which the rule is enacted and how these provisions authorize or require the rule:

Section 62A-11-107 gives the Office of Recovery Services (ORS) the authority to adopt, amend, and enforce rules necessary to carry out its responsibilities under state law. This rule is authorized under Section 62A-11-601, which is known as the Administrative License Suspension Child Support Enforcement Act. Section 62A-11-603 authorizes ORS to suspend a non-custodial parent's (NCP) driver license if the NCP is delinquent on a child support obligation. In addition, the law provides notification requirements for this action as well as providing an informal adjudicative proceeding, which allows the NCP to contest the suspension of his/her driver license. The statute also permits the office to enter into payment agreements with the NCP to pay current child support arrears that are owed. Notification requirements to suspend or rescind an order are found in Section 62A-11-604.

Summary of written comments received during and since the last five-year review of the rule from interested persons supporting or opposing the rule:

No comments have been received.

Reasoned justification for continuation of the rule, including reasons why the agency disagrees with comments in opposition to the rule, if any:

This rule is necessary as it provides information regarding ORS�s ongoing responsibilities with driver license suspension. This rule provides ORS with criteria for suspending the NCP's driver license, as well as the requirements to notify the NCP by sending the Notice of Agency Action. This rule provides information for entering into repayment agreement with the NCP as well as the outcome for compliance or failure to comply with the agreement. This rule provides ORS with a requirement to have approval from the ORS/Child Support Services Supervisory Review Panel prior to suspending the NCP's driver license. In addition, this rule provides the procedures for rescission of the driver license suspension. Therefore, this rule should be continued.
