EHB 1014: Implementing recommendations of the 2023 child support schedule work group.

What this bill does

Updates the child support economic table to extend the table to income levels of $50,000 and to raise the floor to income levels of $2,200. Allows parents to deduct mandatory state insurance premiums actually paid from gross monthly income, and provides that educational expenses are not included in the economic table. Raises the self-support reserve to 180 percent of the federal poverty guideline for a one-person family, and provides that neither parent's basic support obligation owed for all of their children may reduce the parent's income below the self-support reserve. Establishes new provisions allowing for temporary abatement of child support when the parent required to pay support is in a court-ordered mental health or substance abuse treatment program.
