BILL NUMBER:A10312

Title of bill

An act to amend the correction law, in relation to child support work programs for county jails

Purpose or general idea of the bill

An act to amend the correction law, in relation to child support work programs for county jails.

Summary of specific provisions

Creates Article 28 of the Correction Law to empower counties to establish and operate child and spousal support work programs for persons delinquent in their payments.

Justification

Currently, if a person is jailed for failure to make child or spousal support payments they are credited for the time they serve. Consequently, families lose out on additional support payments during the period the prisoner is unable to be employed due to incarcer- ation. This discourages families from pursuing delinquent support payments in cases where punitive incarceration poses further financial hardship.
