The 2025 Assembly Joint Resolution 34 commemorates the 50th anniversary of the federal child support program, which was established by President Gerald R. Ford Jr. through the Social Services Amendments of 1974. The resolution highlights the significance of child support in promoting financial stability for families, noting that Wisconsin's program, administered by the Department of Children and Families, has effectively served 341,000 children and collected $841 million in economic support in fiscal year 2023. It emphasizes the program's role as a leading anti-poverty initiative, which has been instrumental in closing the poverty gap by an average of 44 percent in the state.

The resolution also recognizes the collaborative efforts of county, state, and tribal child support agencies in providing essential resources and services to families, including employment training and support for establishing healthy parent-child relationships. It commends the dedicated professionals within these agencies for their work in establishing legal rights, enforcing support orders, and securing health insurance for children. The resolution concludes by officially designating January 4, 2025, as the 50th Anniversary of the child support program in Wisconsin, honoring the contributions of those involved in promoting financial security for children and families across the state.
