Fiscal Detail and Notes
	Authorizing the court to order a parent whose parental rights are terminated to make a lump-sum contribution to the financial support of the child could result in some increase in child support collections and a possible reduction in expended TANF benefits. The fiscal impact to the state is expected to be minor.
