33   CHILD SUPPORT.
34     1.  The department of human services shall seek
35   permission from the United States department of health
36   and human services for a statewide initiative to pass
37   the full amount of child support collected, on behalf
38   of family investment program participants, through to
39   those families without being required to reimburse the
40   federal government for the federal share of the child
41   support collected.  If the department of human
42   services receives unconditional approval from the
43   United States department of health and human services,

45   to the general assembly that provides for a net offset
46   in family investment program benefits which is
47   equivalent to the amount of child support passed
48   through to the family.

 6   investment program participants by more clearly
 7   identifying the actual level of income necessary to

 9   the family investment program when child support is
10   also being received."
