The purpose of the Parental Responsibility Act is to require:
A. parents to eliminate child support arrearages in order to be issued, maintain or renew a license; and
B. compliance with, after receiving appropriate notice, subpoenas or warrants relating to paternity or child support, which will subsequently reduce both the number of children in New Mexico who live at or below the poverty level and the financial obligation that falls to the state when parents do not provide for their minor children.
History: Laws 1995, ch. 25, § 2; 1997, ch. 237, § 25; 1998, ch. 53, § 1.
The 1998 amendment, effective March 9, 1998, deleted "to require" in Subsections A and B, and substituted "be issued, maintain or renew a license" for "maintain a professional, occupational or recreational license, including but not limited to a hunting, fishing or trapping license, and a driver's license" in Subsection A.
The 1997 amendment, effective April 11, 1997, designated the existing language as Subsections A and B, inserted "or recreational license, including but not limited to a hunting, fishing or trapping license, and a driver's" at the end of Subsection A, and added the language beginning "to require" and ending "child support," to the beginning of Subsection B, and made minor stylistic changes in the section.
