Relating to the accrual of interest on overdue child support.

SB 629 would increase the interest rate for overdue child support from 3% to 6% per year. This change applies to child support payments due on or after January 1, 2026, and to existing child support arrearages not confirmed as a money judgment by that date. For existing arrearages, the 6% interest rate would apply to the total amount of original unpaid support plus any accumulated interest before January 1, 2026. The bill directly affects parents who owe child support and the children they are obligated to support by increasing the interest that accrues on unpaid amounts.
