25-7A-59. Withholding employee's compensation for dependent child's medical support--Required filing time--Limitation on amount--Penalty. In any case where there is in effect an order for support requiring an obligor to provide medical support for a dependent child, the employer of the obligor, upon receiving a national medical support notice from any Title IV-D agency is required to complete the applicable sections and forward the notice to the persons or entities specified in the notice within twenty business days of the date of the notice. Upon receiving notice of successful enrollment, the employer shall withhold from the employee's compensation the employee's share of premiums, if any, for health coverage required for the medical support of the dependent child. Any employer withholding compensation from an employee for the purposes set forth in this section is required to pay, upon the premium due date, the employee's share of the premium to the insurer providing the health coverage for the dependent child. The total amount withheld for support and health insurance premiums may not exceed the amount specified in § 25-7A-32, giving priority to the payment of current and past-due support.
Any employer who intentionally fails to comply with any duties imposed by this section commits a petty offense.
