HB 2906 - DIGEST

     Provides that the parents of an unmarried minor who has a child are responsible for the support of the minor and child.  The  unmarried minor and the minor's child shall be considered to be part of the household of the minor's parents or parent for purposes of determining eligibility for aid to families with dependent children; and as such, the income and resources of the entire household are considered to be available to support the unmarried minor and his or her child.

     Declares that liability for child support only exists if the parent or parents of the unmarried minor parent are provided the opportunity for a hearing on their ability to provide support.  Any child support order requiring such a parent or parents to provide support for the minor parent's child may be effective only until the minor parent reaches eighteen years of age.
