|
| | | Emergency preamble. Whereas, acts of the Legislature do not become | | effective until 90 days after adjournment unless enacted as | | emergencies; and |
|
| | | Whereas, the Department of Health and Human Services is finding | | it more difficult to locate parents delinquent in child support; | | and |
|
| | | Whereas, the sooner the Department of Health and Human Services | | has the authority to obtain information from wireless service | | providers, the sooner the department will be able to locate | | delinquent parents; and |
|
| | | Whereas, in the judgment of the Legislature, these facts create | | an emergency within the meaning of the Constitution of Maine and | | require the following legislation as immediately necessary for | | the preservation of the public peace, health and safety; now, | | therefore, |
|
| | | Be it enacted by the People of the State of Maine as follows: |
|
| | | Sec. 1. 19-A MRSA §2158 is enacted to read: |
|
| | | §2158.__Access to wireless service provider's records of |
|
| | | individuals who owe child support |
