Child support; withhold gaming winnings of persons who have outstanding child support arrearages.

SB 2384 would require Mississippi gaming businesses to withhold a portion of a person's gambling winnings if they owe overdue child support payments. The Mississippi Gaming Commission and Department of Human Services would create rules for this process, and gaming businesses could charge an administrative fee on the withheld winnings. This policy would directly affect individuals with unpaid child support debt by using their gambling winnings to help cover the obligation.
