8 61.1301 Income deduction orders.--
9 (1) ISSUANCE IN CONJUNCTION WITH AN ORDER
10 ESTABLISHING, ENFORCING, OR MODIFYING AN OBLIGATION FOR
11 ALIMONY OR CHILD SUPPORT.--
12 (a) Upon the entry of an order establishing,
13 enforcing, or modifying an obligation for alimony, for child
14 support, or for alimony and child support, other than a
15 temporary order, the court shall enter a separate order for
16 income deduction if one has not been entered. Copies of the
17 orders shall be served on the obligee and obligor. If the
18 order establishing, enforcing, or modifying the obligation
19 directs that payments be made through the depository, the
20 court shall provide to the depository a copy of the order
21 establishing, enforcing, or modifying the obligation. If the
22 obligee is a recipient of Title IV-D services, the court shall
23 furnish to the Title IV-D agency a copy of the income
24 deduction order and the order establishing, enforcing, or
25 modifying the obligation.
26 1. In Title IV-D cases, the Title IV-D agency may
27 implement income deduction after receiving a copy of an order
28 from the court under this paragraph or a forwarding agency
29 under UIFSA, URESA, or RURESA by issuing an income deduction
30 notice to the payor.

Florida Senate - 1999 CS for SB 808
300-1824-99
1 2. The income deduction notice must state that it is
2 based upon a valid support order and that it contains an
3 income deduction requirement or upon a separate income
4 deduction order. The income deduction notice must contain the
5 notice to payor provisions specified by paragraph (2)(e). The
6 income deduction notice must contain the following information
7 from the income deduction order upon which the notice is
8 based: the case number, the court that entered the order, and
9 the date entered.
10 3. Payors shall deduct support payments from income,
11 as specified in the income deduction notice, in the manner
12 provided under paragraph (2)(e).
13 4. In non-Title IV-D cases, the income deduction
14 notice must be accompanied by a copy of the support order upon
15 which the notice is based. In Title IV-D cases, upon request
16 of a payor, the Title IV-D agency shall furnish the payor a
17 copy of the income deduction order.
18 5. If a support order entered before January 1, 1994,
19 in a non-Title IV-D case does not specify income deduction,
20 income deduction may be initiated upon a delinquency without
21 the need for any amendment to the support order or any further
22 action by the court. In such case the obligee may implement
23 income deduction by serving a notice of delinquency on the
24 obligor as provided for under paragraph (f).
25 (b) The income deduction order shall:
26 1. Direct a payor to deduct from all income due and
27 payable to an obligor the amount required by the court to meet
28 the obligor's support obligation including any attorney's fees
29 or costs owed and forward the deducted amount pursuant to the
30 order.

1 2. State the amount of arrearage owed, if any, and
2 direct a payor to withhold an additional 20 percent or more of
3 the periodic amount specified in the order establishing,
4 enforcing, or modifying the obligation, until full payment is
5 made of any arrearage, attorney's fees and costs owed,
6 provided no deduction shall be applied to attorney's fees and
7 costs until the full amount of any arrearage is paid;
8 3. Direct a payor not to deduct in excess of the
9 amounts allowed under s. 303(b) of the Consumer Credit
10 Protection Act, 15 U.S.C. s. 1673(b), as amended;
11 4. Direct whether a payor shall deduct all, a
12 specified portion, or no income which is paid in the form of a
13 bonus or other similar one-time payment, up to the amount of
14 arrearage reported in the income deduction notice or the
15 remaining balance thereof, and forward the payment to the
16 governmental depository. For purposes of this subparagraph,
17 "bonus" means a payment in addition to an obligor's usual
18 compensation and which is in addition to any amounts
19 contracted for or otherwise legally due and shall not include
20 any commission payments due an obligor; and
21 5. In Title IV-D cases, direct a payor to provide to
22 the court depository the date on which each deduction is made.
23 6. Direct that, at such time as the State Disbursement
24 Unit becomes operational, all payments in those cases in which
25 the obligee is receiving Title IV-D services and in those
26 cases in which the obligee is not receiving Title IV-D
27 services in which the initial support order was issued in this
28 state on or after January 1, 1994, and in which the obligor's
29 child support obligation is being paid through income
30 deduction, be made payable to and delivered to the State
31 Disbursement Unit. Notwithstanding any other statutory
7
CODING: Words stricken are deletions; words underlined are additions.
Florida Senate - 1999 CS for SB 808
300-1824-99
1 provision to the contrary, funds received by the State
2 Disbursement Unit shall be held, administered, and disbursed
3 by the State Disbursement Unit pursuant to the provisions of
4 this chapter.
5 (c) The income deduction order is effective
6 immediately unless the court upon good cause shown finds that
7 the income deduction order shall be effective upon a
8 delinquency in an amount specified by the court but not to
9 exceed 1 month's payment, pursuant to the order establishing,
10 enforcing, or modifying the obligation. In order to find good
11 cause, the court must at a minimum make written findings that:
12 1. Explain why implementing immediate income deduction
13 would not be in the child's best interest;
14 2. There is proof of timely payment of the previously
15 ordered obligation without an income deduction order in cases
16 of modification; and
17 3.a. There is an agreement by the obligor to advise
18 the IV-D agency and court depository of any change in payor
19 and health insurance; or
20 b. There is a signed written agreement providing an
21 alternative arrangement between the obligor and the obligee
22 and, at the option of the IV-D agency, by the IV-D agency in
23 IV-D cases in which there is an assignment of support rights
24 to the state, reviewed and entered in the record by the court.
25 (d) The income deduction order shall be effective as
26 long as the order upon which it is based is effective or until
27 further order of the court. Notwithstanding the foregoing,
28 however, at such time as the State Disbursement Unit becomes
29 operational, in those cases in which the obligee is receiving
30 Title IV-D services and in those cases in which the obligee is
31 not receiving Title IV-D services in which the initial support
8

Florida Senate - 1999 CS for SB 808
300-1824-99
1 order was issued in this state on or after January 1, 1994,
2 and in which the obligor's child support obligation is being
3 paid through income deduction, such payments shall be made
4 payable to and delivered to the State Disbursement Unit and
5 the payor shall not be obligated to remit with the child
6 support payment any fee for the receiving, recording,
7 reporting, disbursing, monitoring, or handling of child
8 support payments required in such order.
9 (e) Statement of obligor's rights. When the court
10 orders the income deduction to be effective immediately, the
11 court shall furnish to the obligor a statement of his or her
12 rights, remedies, and duties in regard to the income deduction
13 order. The statement shall state:
14 1. All fees or interest which shall be imposed.
15 2. The total amount of income to be deducted for each
16 pay period until the arrearage, if any, is paid in full and
17 shall state the total amount of income to be deducted for each
18 pay period thereafter. The amounts deducted may not be in
19 excess of that allowed under s. 303(b) of the Consumer Credit
20 Protection Act, 15 U.S.C. s. 1673(b), as amended.
21 3. That the income deduction order applies to current
22 and subsequent payors and periods of employment.
23 4. That a copy of the income deduction order or, in
24 Title IV-D cases, the income deduction notice will be served
25 on the obligor's payor or payors.
26 5. That enforcement of the income deduction order may
27 only be contested on the ground of mistake of fact regarding
28 the amount owed pursuant to the order establishing, enforcing,
29 or modifying the obligation, the arrearages, or the identity
30 of the obligor, the payor, or the obligee.
31

1 6. That the obligor is required to notify the obligee
2 and, when the obligee is receiving IV-D services, the IV-D
3 agency within 7 days of changes in the obligor's address,
4 payors, and the addresses of his or her payors.
5 (f) Notice of delinquency. If a support order was
6 entered before January 1, 1994, or the court orders the income
7 deduction to be effective upon a delinquency as provided in
8 paragraph (c), the obligee or, in Title IV-D cases, the Title
9 IV-D agency may enforce the income deduction by serving a
10 notice of delinquency on the obligor under this subsection.
11 1. The notice of delinquency shall state:
12 a. The terms of the order establishing, enforcing, or
13 modifying the obligation.
14 b. The period of delinquency and the total amount of
15 the delinquency as of the date the notice is mailed.
16 c. All fees or interest which may be imposed.
17 d. The total amount of income to be deducted for each
18 pay period until the arrearage, and all applicable fees and
19 interest, is paid in full and shall state the total amount of

21 amounts deducted may not be in excess of that allowed under s.
22 303(b) of the Consumer Credit Protection Act, 15 U.S.C. s.
23 1673(b), as amended.
24 e. That the income deduction order applies to current
25 and subsequent payors and periods of employment.
26 f. That a copy of the notice of delinquency will be
27 served on the obligor's payor or payors, together with a copy
28 of the income deduction order or, in Title IV-D cases, the
29 income deduction notice, unless the obligor applies to the
30 court to contest enforcement of the income deduction. The
31
10
CODING: Words stricken are deletions; words underlined are additions.
Florida Senate - 1999 CS for SB 808
300-1824-99
1 application shall be filed within 15 days after the date the
2 notice of delinquency was served.
3 g. That enforcement of the income deduction order may
4 only be contested on the ground of mistake of fact regarding
5 the amount owed pursuant to the order establishing, enforcing,
6 or modifying the obligation, the amount of arrearages, or the
7 identity of the obligor, the payor, or the obligee.
8 h. That the obligor is required to notify the obligee
9 of the obligor's current address and current payors and of the
10 address of current payors. All changes shall be reported by
11 the obligor within 7 days. If the IV-D agency is enforcing
12 the order, the obligor shall make these notifications to the
13 agency instead of to the obligee.
14 2. The failure of the obligor to receive the notice of
15 delinquency does not preclude subsequent service of the income
16 deduction order or, in Title IV-D cases, the income deduction
17 notice on the obligor's payor. A notice of delinquency which
18 fails to state an arrearage does not mean that an arrearage is
19 not owed.
20 (g) At any time, any party, including the IV-D agency,
21 may apply to the court to:
22 1. Modify, suspend, or terminate the income deduction
23 order in accordance with a modification, suspension, or
24 termination of the support provisions in the underlying order;
25 or
26 2. Modify the amount of income deducted when the
27 arrearage has been paid.

24 subsection, a final judgment by operation of law, which has
25 the full force, effect, and attributes of a judgment entered
26 by a court in this state for which execution may issue. No

11 of support which accrues after the date of the filing of the
12 motion to alter or modify the support order. This
13 subparagraph does not prohibit the court from providing relief
14 from the judgment pursuant to Rule 1.540, Florida Rules of

12 regarding an error in whether a delinquency exists, in the
13 amount of the delinquency, or in the identity of the obligor.
14 (d) The court shall hear the obligor's motion to
15 contest the impending judgment within 15 days after the date
16 of the filing of the motion. Upon the court's denial of the

20 collected only to the extent necessary to reimburse amounts

24 is limited to the amount provided by such court order or

26 obligation. If the obligor fails to discharge the
27 reimbursement obligation, the department may apply for a
28 contempt order to enforce reimbursement for support furnished.
29 The extraordinary remedy of contempt is applicable in child
30 support enforcement cases because of the public necessity for
31 ensuring that dependent children be maintained from the

9 child. The department may apply for modification of a court
10 order on the same grounds as either party to the cause and
11 shall have the right to settle and compromise actions brought
12 pursuant to law.

14 assignment in effect pursuant to this section:

18 agency for third-party liability purposes.
19 (b) When the obligor receives health insurance
20 coverage for the dependent child, the IV-D agency shall
21 provide health insurance policy information, including any
22 information available about the health insurance policy which
23 would permit a claim to be filed or, in the case of a health
24 maintenance or preferred provider organization, service to be
25 provided, to the state Medicaid agency.
26 (c) The state Medicaid agency, upon receipt of the
27 health coverage information from the IV-D agency, shall notify
28 the obligor's insuring entity that the Medicaid agency must be
29 notified within 30 days when such coverage is discontinued.
30 (d) Entities providing health insurance as defined in

19 reporting entities for reasonable costs or a portion thereof
20 incurred in furnishing the requested information. Neither the
21 cooperative agreement nor the rules shall require the
22 automation of manual processes to provide the requested
23 information.
24 4. The department and the Department of Insurance
25 jointly shall promulgate rules for the development and
26 administration of the cooperative agreement. The rules shall

15 section shall be construed to mean that a county court judge
16 or clerk of the circuit court in this state shall not issue a

19 provide a social security number, alien number, or other

1 STATEMENT OF SUBSTANTIAL CHANGES CONTAINED IN
COMMITTEE SUBSTITUTE FOR
2 Senate Bill 808
3
4 For purposes of the child support program, this bill requires
the full names and social security numbers of each child of
5 the marriage in an initial pleading for dissolution of
marriage as wells as requiring the full name, date of birth,
6 and social security number of each minor (in addition to the
parties) who is the subject of a child support order.
7
Directs that, at such time as the State Disbursement Unit
8 becomes operational, all child support payments will be made
payable to and delivered to the SDU. Language is clarified to
9 provide that funds received by the SDU shall be held,
administered, and disbursed by the SDU.
10
The section of law relating to the suspension of a driver's
11 license and motor vehicle registration is amended to provide a
time-certain (15 days delinquent) for purposes of suspension
12 of a driver's license and motor vehicle registration.
13 Language allowing a certified copy of the support order as
evidence of a final judgment is deleted. Hereafter, only a
14 certified statement by the local depository is required.
15 The section of law relevant to the State Case Registry is
amended to provide a definition of the term "family violence
16 indicator."
17 The section of law relating to marriage license issuance is
amended to provide that any non-citizen may provide either a
18 social security number or an alien number for purposes of
issuance of a marriage license. If such number is not
19 available, a county court should still issue the license.
20 The section of law relating to the prohibition on falsifying
public records is amended to provide that social security
21 numbers may be redacted or removed from any document or
instrument recorded or filed in any court or registry prior to
22 disbursement of said record. This will require a public
records exception so a severability clause is included for
23 this section if the passage of a required public records bill
does not occur.
24
A provision is included to allow fifty percent of the actual,
25 documented net cost for full participation in the State
Disbursement Unit to be paid to Miami-Dade, Seminole, and
26 Collier Counties from the Clerk of the Court Child Support
Enforcement Collection System Trust Fund.
27
Deletes the section of the bill, as filed, that would allow
28 the Department of Revenue to redirect payments under a support
order to the department for distribution and disbursement.
