                     Synopsis as Enacted

Brief Description:  Correcting double amendments relating to support obligations.

By Representatives Appelwick, Padden and Ludwig; by request of Law Revision Commission.

House Committee on Judiciary

Senate Committee on Law & Justice

Background:  Two separate bills that passed during the 1989 Legislative Session made different amendments to a statute concerning the collection procedure the Department of Social and Health Services must use when a child support order does not state the current or future support obligation as a fixed dollar amount.  The Law Revision Commission reviewed the bills to combine the double amendments and to clarify the statute as combined.

Summary:  The double amendments of a statute concerning child support obligation collection procedures are merged into one statute.  Additional technical amendments are made to the merged statute.  No substantive changes are made.
