The following summary is not prepared by the sponsors of the
measure and is not a part of the body thereof subject to
consideration by the Legislative Assembly. It is an editor's
brief statement of the essential features of the measure as
introduced.
 
  Modifies law relating to suspension of licenses, certificates,

child support.
 
                        A BILL FOR AN ACT
Relating to enforcement of child support obligation by suspension
  of privileges; creating new provisions; and amending ORS

Be It Enacted by the People of the State of Oregon:
  SECTION 1. ORS 25.750 is amended to read:
  25.750. (1) All licenses, certificates, permits or

in order to engage in an occupation or profession or to use a
particular occupational or professional title, all annual
licenses issued to individuals by the Oregon Liquor Control
Commission, all driver licenses or permits issued by the
Department of Transportation and recreational hunting and fishing
licenses, as defined by rule of the Department of Justice, are
subject to suspension by the respective issuing entities upon
certification to the issuing entity by the administrator that a
child support case record is being maintained by the Department
of Justice, that the case is being enforced by the administrator
under the provisions of ORS 25.080 and that one or both of the
following conditions apply:
  (a) That the party holding the license, certificate, permit or
registration is   { - under order or judgment to pay monthly
child support and is in arrears, with respect to any such
judgment or order requiring the payment of child support - }
