House Judiciary Chairman Rich Wills, R-Glenns Ferry, told the House that the child support enforcement bill is “so we can find those people who aren’t paying,” even if they try to flee to another country. The child support enforcement system has long been in place, he said; this is just the latest revision. “This is just simply adding to that, to allow us to do it in other nations as well,” Wills said.

Wills said, “I don’t see anything wrong with this bill, and I would ask your support to pass this bill quickly and to move it forward, so that we can take care of the people’s business.” He then yielded the rest of the opening debate to Rep. Lynn Luker, R-Boise.
