Request for Public Comment on 6 A.A.C. 7 - Child Support Enforcement
The Department of Economic Security (Department) is in the process of revising 6 A.A.C. 7 - Child Support Enforcement, the administrative rules that govern the child support services in Arizona. During this process we welcome input from the public. To that end, we are requesting written comments on the current draft of these rules.
The goal of these revisions is to align with changes to 42 U.S.C. 654(6)(B)(ii) and A.R.S. § 25-528(A) and to improve effectiveness and clarity of the rules.
The Department is seeking informal stakeholder input as we draft the s rules to ensure that we adequately consider stakeholders’ comments and concerns early in the rule writing process. Although there will be an opportunity for formal public comment after the rules are published in the Arizona Administrative Register pursuant to A.R.S. § 41-1023, the Department will not be able to make any substantial changes to the draft rules at that time without adding several additional steps and requirements in the rulemaking process. Comments will be addressed through the revision of the draft rules and not as individual responses to each comment.
Draft Rules - 6 A.A.C. 7 - Child Support Enforcement
