Washington OK’d Child Support Bill

Washington's Legislature passed its version of the same child-support bill that's prompted a special session in Idaho with little fanfare; the bill passed both houses unanimously and was signed into law on Friday. Spokane Valley legislators proposed amendments to ensure foreign law wasn’t imposed in the state and to ensure due process, but those weren’t put into state statutes that involve the Uniform Interstate Family Support Act, so that law contains the unaltered language of the international agreement. Instead, the amendments are put into a separate section of state law that lays out special rights and immunities for court actions/Betsy Russell, Eye on Boise. More here.
