On page 36, after line 13, insert the following:
NEW SECTION. Sec. 62. "If any part of this act is found to be in conflict with federal requirements that are a prescribed condition to the allocation of federal funds to the state, the Washington department of social and health services shall submit a request to obtain a statutory or regulatory waiver of provisions to the extent of the conflicting requirements in Title IV-D of the federal social security act from the federal department of health and human services."
EFFECT: The 2008 UIFSA Amendments are adopted verbatim in their entirety in chapter
26.21A RCW.
A new section is added to chapter
4.24 RCW that presumes (but does not deem) an order is manifestly incompatible with public policy if it violates a party's constitutional rights.
If there is found to be a conflict with federal law, DSHS must submit a waiver request to federal HHS.
