| Sec. 7-701. Findings and purpose. The General Assembly | 8 |
| finds that
the timely receipt of adequate financial support has | 9 |
| the effect of reducing
poverty and State expenditures for | 10 |
| welfare dependency among children, and that
the timely payment | 11 |
| of adequate child support demonstrates financial
| 12 |
| responsibility. Further, the General Assembly finds that the | 13 |
| State has a
compelling interest in ensuring that drivers within | 14 |
| the State demonstrate
financial responsibility, including | 15 |
| family financial responsibility, in order
to safely own and | 16 |
| operate a motor vehicle. To this end, the
Secretary of State
is | 17 |
| authorized to establish systems to suspend
driver's licenses | 18 |
| for failure to
comply with court and administrative orders of | 19 |
| support.
