Women testify on bill to withhold child support pay
Dozens of women traveled to Sacramento to support Assembly Bill 1948 aiming to automate withholding of child support from a father’s paycheck.

The bill’s sponsor, Assemblyman Alister McAlister, remained hopeful for subcommittee study and possible amendments.
