ADOPTED 3/4/2015

On page 1, line 10 of the title, after " 26.21A RCW;" insert "adding a new section to chapter 4.24 RCW;"

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. If the requested waiver is denied, section 61 of this act is inoperative, with respect to sections 1 through 60 of this act, to the extent of any remaining conflict with federal law.
