Child Support Bill Clears House Committee

On July 28, the House Financial Services Committee approved, 56-2, the Child Support Assistance Act (H.R. 2091). The subcommittee held a hearing on the bill on June 11 (see The Source, 6/5/15).

The bill, sponsored by Rep. Bruce Poliquin (R-ME), would amend the Fair Credit Reporting Act (P.L. 104-208) to authorize consumer reporting agencies to supply credit reports in response to a request by state or local child support enforcement agencies if such a report is necessary for enforcement of a child support order, award, agreement, or judgment.
