Senate OKs child support bill in Kansas
The Kansas Senate passed a contested child support enforcement bill 23 to 17 to retain federal funding and boost collection. Critics warn of privacy loss and executive overreach while supporters cite due process and avoidance of federal sanctions. The measure shifts toward aggressive collection under welfare reform, with provisions including new hires reporting, paternity testing, wage garnishment, and broad SRS authority.
