NOTICE OF PUBLIC RULE HEARING
The Human Services
Department through the Child Support Enforcement Division (CSED), is proposing
amendments to rules 8.50.111.12 NMAC, 8.50.130.13, NMAC. The Human Services Department is authorized
to propose and adopt rules under the Public Assistance Act, Section 27-2-1 et
seq. NMSA 1978 (1992 Repl.).
Changes in the rules
are to revise child support program services offered, to state that contempt
proceedings will remove language stating to enforce an existing order, to
revise language to reflect will screen cases, provide court information
regarding when non-custodial parent has an ability to pay or comply with the
order; and to delete language the central registry sends the OCSE an update to
report that the matter is being transferred to the initiating state for the
purpose of conducting an administrative hearing.
The purpose of the proposed rules are to comply with federal child support regulations and to update internal procedures. The register for these proposed amendments to these rules will be available June 25, 2019 on the HSD web site at http://www.hsd.state.nm.us/LookingForInformation/child-support-enforcement-division-registers.aspx.
