Requires the Department of Public Aid to establish, no later then October 1, 1998, an automated directory containing identifying information, submitted by the employer, for each new employee hired in the State. Provides that the directory shall be used to facilitate the enforcement, collection, and disbursement of child support payments. States that the directory shall be known as the State Directory of New Hires. Provides for sharing information with other State agencies for the purpose of collecting other debts owed to the State. FISCAL NOTE (Dept. of Public Aid) A State Directory of New Hires would cost between $750,000 and $1,500,000 ($500,000 to $750,000 for system development and $700,000 for staff). STATE MANDATES FISCAL NOTE HB 614 fails to meet the definition of a State mandate. FISCAL NOTE (Dept. of Employment Security) Development and implementation costs total approximately $750,000. Ongoing costs are yet to be determined, but will be driven by the number of new hires reported, for which a reli- able estimate is not available. The Department will cover these costs with federal funds. HOUSE AMENDMENT NO. 2.
