SB 606 - This act provides that the hearings to determine whether the suspension of a business, occupational, professional, recreational, or other license is appropriate when an obligor is not in compliance with a child support order shall comply with due process and shall consider all relevant factors, including the obligor's current and past ability to pay the support, his or her need for transportation, and his or her need for the license for continued employment.

The court or the Director of the Family Support Division shall consider and issue written findings of fact and conclusions of law within 30 days of the hearing. If the court or the director, after the hearing, determines that the obligor has not made the required payments for good cause, then the court or Director shall not issue an order suspend the license or, if an order is in place, shall stay such order.

This act is identical to SCS/SB 458 (2019).
