Purpose:
The purpose of the proposed repeal of Rule 12E-1.018, F.A.C. (Liens), is to remove a rule that is obsolete and inconsistent with current law. The purpose of proposed Rule 12E-1.028, F.A.C. (Garnishment by Levy), is to clarify that the Department initiates a levy action when the amount of past-due or overdue support is greater than $600 and greater than four times the total monthly support obligation, which includes current support and any payment on arrears. The change is required to reflect current programming and procedure. The purpose of proposed Rule 12E-1.029, F.A.C. (Financial Institution Data Matches), is to amend the standard agreement form to clarify restrictions for storing data on mobile devices, clarify when fees are payable, and when a purchase order number is provided. The proposed amendment also corrects a statutory citation and the name of the Federal Office of Child Support Enforcement.
