Sharia Law Worries Snag Bill

A House committee is holding up a bill to bring Idaho’s child support enforcement plan into compliance with federal law – potentially losing the state tens of millions of dollars, forcing the layoff of more than 100 state employees and cancelling contracts across the state – because of some members’ concerns about possibly subjecting the state to Sharia or foreign laws, reports Melissa Davlin of Idaho Public TV’s “Idaho Reports.” Sen. Sheryl Nuxoll, R-Cottonwood, (pictured) who earlier voted for SB 1067 when it unanimously passed the Senate, told the House Judiciary & Rules Committee that she now objects to putting Idaho into compliance with the 2007  Hague Convention on International Recovery of Child Support and Family Maintenance, as required by federal law; it’s designed to get uniform child support enforcement across the nation and in other countries, allowing governments to collect child support from parents regardless of where they live/ Betsy Russell , Eye on Boise.
