Legislative Development: Kansas Law Limits Where Deadbeat Parents May Drive

When a child support obligor owes more than $500 in child support, under a bill signed into law Wednesday by Kansas Governor Sebelius, the individual will be limited in where a car may be driven. The new law provides that an obligor may drive only to or from work or school, or in case of a medical emergency.  The bill originally would have revoked the license of these parents, however, legislators amended the proposal so the obligor could drive on a limited basis.  Legislators felt that if the parent could not  drive to work, money needed to pay child support could not be earned.
