NOTICE OF REVIEW AND STATEMENT OF CONTINUATION

Concise explanation of the particular statutory provisions under which the rule is enacted and how these provisions authorize or require the rule:

Section 62A-11-107 gives the Office of Recovery Services (ORS) the authority to adopt, amend, and enforce rules necessary to carry out it's responsibilities under state law. Section 62A-11-104 gives ORS the authority to provide child support services to individuals if the office has received an application for child support services, the state has provided public assistance, or a child lives out of the home in the protective custody, temporary custody, or custody or care of the state. These services include the distribution of collected child support money to a payee.

Summary of written comments received during and since the last five-year review of the rule from interested persons supporting or opposing the rule:

No comments received.

Reasoned justification for continuation of the rule, including reasons why the agency disagrees with comments in opposition to the rule, if any:

This rule is necessary because the laws that require ORS to collect and disburse collected child support money to the appropriate payee can sometimes result in a lost, stolen, or forged check. The rule provides the office with the procedures and process for assisting the payee in reissuing a warrant, if appropriate, when a check is lost, stolen, or forged. Therefore, this rule should be continued. The following laws supporting this rule have been renumbered and the rule will be amended shortly to reflect the renumbered statutes; Section 35A-1-502 is now Section 35A-3-603, and Section 62A-11-201 is now Section 35A-3-601.
