3123.182, and 3123.183 of the Revised Code be enacted to read as	53
follows:	54

Sec. 1349.01.  (A) As used in this section:

55

(1) "Consumer reporting agency" has the same meaning as in	56
the "Fair Credit Reporting Act," 84 Stat. 1128, 15 U.S.C.A. 1681a.	57

(2) "Court" means the division of the court of common pleas	58
having jurisdiction over actions for divorce, annulment,	59
dissolution of marriage, legal separation, child support, or	60
spousal support.	61

(3) "Health insurance coverage" means hospital, surgical, or	62
medical expense coverage provided under any health insurance or	63
health care policy, contract, or plan or any other health benefits	64
arrangement.	65

(4) "Provider" has the same meaning as in section 3902.11	66
of the Revised Code.	67

(B) If, pursuant to an action for divorce, annulment,	68
dissolution of marriage, or legal separation, the court determines	69
that a party who is a resident of this state is responsible for	70
obtaining health insurance coverage for the party's former spouse	71
or children or if, pursuant to a child support order issued in	72
accordance with sections 3119.303119.29 to 3119.583119.56 of	73
the Revised Code, the court requires a party who is a resident of	74
this state to obtain health insurance coverage for the children	75
who are the subject of the child support order, and the party	76
fails to obtain such coverage, no provider or collection agency	77
shall collect or attempt to collect from the former spouse,	78
children, or person responsible for the children, any	79
reimbursement of any hospital, surgical, or medical expenses	80
incurred by the provider for services rendered to the former	81
spouse or children, which expenses would have been covered but for	82
the failure of the party to obtain the coverage, if the former	83
spouse, any of the children, or a person responsible for the	84
children, provides the following to the provider or collection	85
agency:	86

(1) A copy of the court order requiring the party to obtain	87
health insurance coverage for the former spouse or children.	88

(2) Reasonable assistance in locating the party and	89
obtaining information about the party's health insurance coverage.	90

(C) If the requirements of divisions (B)(1) and (2) of this	91
section are not met, the provider or collection agency may collect	92
the hospital, surgical, or medical expenses both from the former	93
spouse or person responsible for the children and from the party	94
who failed to obtain the coverage. If the requirements of	95
divisions (B)(1) and (2) are met, the provider or collection	96
agency may collect or attempt to collect the expenses only from	97
the party.	98

A party required to obtain health insurance coverage for a	99
former spouse or children who fails to obtain the coverage is	100
liable to the provider for the hospital, surgical, or medical	101
expenses incurred by the provider as a result of the failure to	102
obtain the coverage. This section does not prohibit a former	103
spouse or person responsible for the children from initiating an	104
action to enforce the order requiring the party to obtain health	105
insurance for the former spouse or children or to collect any	106
amounts the former spouse or person responsible for the children	107
pays for hospital, surgical, or medical expenses for which the	108
party is responsible under the order requiring the party to obtain	109
health insurance for the former spouse or children.	110

(D)(1) If the requirements of divisions (B)(1) and (2) of	111
this section are met, both of the following restrictions shall	112
apply:	113

(a) No collection agency or provider of hospital, surgical,	114
or medical services may report to a consumer reporting agency, for	115
inclusion in the credit file or credit report of the former spouse	116
or person responsible for the children, any information relative	117
to the nonpayment of expenses for the services incurred by the	118
provider, if the nonpayment is the result of the failure of the	119
party responsible for obtaining health insurance coverage to	120
obtain health insurance coverage.	121

(b) No consumer reporting agency shall include in the credit	122
file or credit report of the former spouse or person responsible	123
for the children, any information relative to the nonpayment of	124
any hospital, surgical, or medical expenses incurred by a provider	125
as a result of the party's failure to obtain the coverage.	126

(2) If the requirements of divisions (B)(1) and (2) of this	127
section are not met, both of the following provisions shall apply:	128

(a) A provider of hospital, surgical, or medical services,	129
or a collection agency, may report to a consumer reporting agency,	130
for inclusion in the credit file or credit report of the former	131
spouse or person responsible for the children, any information	132
relative to the nonpayment of expenses for the services incurred	133
by the provider, if the nonpayment is the result of the failure of	134
the party responsible for obtaining health insurance coverage to	135
obtain such coverage.	136

(b) A consumer reporting agency may include in the credit	137
file or credit report of the former spouse or person responsible	138
for the children, any information relative to the nonpayment of	139
any hospital, surgical, or medical expenses incurred by the	140
provider, if the nonpayment is the result of the failure of the	141
party responsible for obtaining health insurance coverage to	142
obtain such coverage.	143

(3)(a) A provider of hospital, surgical, or medical	144
services, or a collection agency, may report to a consumer	145
reporting agency, for inclusion in the credit file or credit	146
report of that party, any information relative to the nonpayment	147
of expenses for the services incurred by the provider, if the	148
nonpayment is the result of the failure of the party responsible	149
for obtaining health insurance coverage to obtain such coverage.	150

(b) A consumer reporting agency may include in the credit	151
file or credit report of the party responsible for obtaining	152
health insurance coverage, any information relative to the	153
nonpayment of any hospital, surgical, or medical expenses incurred	154
by a provider, if the nonpayment is the result of the failure of	155
that party to obtain health insurance coverage.	156

(4) If any information described in division (D)(2) of this	157
section is placed in the credit file or credit report of the	158
former spouse or person responsible for the children, the consumer	159
reporting agency shall remove the information from the credit file	160
and credit report if the former spouse or person responsible for	161
the children provides the agency with the information required in	162
divisions (B)(1) and (2) of this section. If the agency fails to	163
remove the information from the credit file or credit report	164
pursuant to the terms of the "Fair Credit Reporting Act," 84 Stat.	165
1128, 15 U.S.C. 1681a, within a reasonable time after receiving	166
the information required by divisions (B)(1) and (2) of this	167
section, the former spouse may initiate an action to require the	168
agency to remove the information.	169

If any information described in division (D)(3) of this	170
section is placed in the party's credit file or credit report, the	171
party has the burden of proving that the party is not responsible	172
for obtaining the health insurance coverage or, if responsible,	173
that the expenses incurred are not covered expenses. If the party	174
meets that burden, the agency shall remove the information from	175
the party's credit file and credit report immediately. If the	176
agency fails to remove the information from the credit file or	177
credit report immediately after the party meets the burden, the	178
party may initiate an action to require the agency to remove the	179
information.	180

Sec. 2151.231.  The parent, guardian, or custodian of a	181
child, the person with whom a child resides, or the child support	182
enforcement agency of the county in which the child, parent,	183
guardian, or custodian of the child resides may bring an action in	184
a juvenile court or other court with jurisdiction under section	185
2101.022 or 2301.03 of the Revised Code under this section	186
requesting the court to issue an order requiring a parent of the	187
child to pay an amount for the support of the child without regard	188
to the marital status of the child's parents. No action may be	189
brought under this section against a person presumed to be the	190
parent of a child based on an acknowledgment of paternity that has	191
not yet become final under former section 3111.211 or 5101.314 or	192
section 2151.232, 3111.25, or 3111.821 of the Revised Code.	193

The parties to an action under this section may raise the	194
issue of the existence or nonexistence of a parent-child	195
relationship, unless a final and enforceable determination of the	196
issue has been made with respect to the parties pursuant to	197
Chapter 3111. of the Revised Code or an acknowledgment of	198
paternity signed by the child's parents has become final pursuant	199
to former section 3111.211 or 5101.314 or section 2151.232,	200
3111.25, or 3111.821 of the Revised Code. If a complaint is	201
filed under this section and an issue concerning the existence or	202
nonexistence of a parent-child relationship is raised, the court	203
shall treat the action as an action pursuant to sections 3111.01	204
to 3111.18 of the Revised Code. An order issued in an action	205
under this section does not preclude a party to the action from	206
bringing a subsequent action pursuant to sections 3111.01 to	207
3111.18 of the Revised Code if the issue concerning the existence	208
or nonexistence of the parent-child relationship was not	209
determined with respect to the party pursuant to a proceeding	210
under this section, a proceeding under Chapter 3111. of the	211
Revised Code, or an acknowledgment of paternity that has become	212
final under former section 3111.211 or 5101.314 or section	213
2151.232, 3111.25, or 3111.821 of the Revised Code. An order	214
issued pursuant to this section shall remain effective until an	215
order is issued pursuant to sections 3111.01 to 3111.18 of the	216
Revised Code that a parent-child relationship does not exist	217
between the alleged father of the child and the child or until the	218
occurrence of an event described in section 3119.88 of the	219
Revised Code that would require the order to terminate.	220

The court, in accordance with sections 3119.303119.29 to	221
3119.583119.56 of the Revised Code, shall include in each support	222
order made under this section the requirement that one or both of	223
the parents provide for the health care needs of the child to the	224
satisfaction of the court.	225

Sec. 2151.33.  (A) Pending hearing of a complaint filed	226
under section 2151.27 of the Revised Code or a motion filed or	227
made under division (B) of this section and the service of	228
citations, the juvenile court may make any temporary disposition	229
of any child that it considers necessary to protect the best	230
interest of the child and that can be made pursuant to division	231
(B) of this section. Upon the certificate of one or more	232
reputable practicing physicians, the court may summarily provide	233
for emergency medical and surgical treatment that appears to be	234
immediately necessary to preserve the health and well-being of any	235
child concerning whom a complaint or an application for care has	236
been filed, pending the service of a citation upon the child's	237
parents, guardian, or custodian. The court may order the parents,	238
guardian, or custodian, if the court finds the parents, guardian,	239
or custodian able to do so, to reimburse the court for the expense	240
involved in providing the emergency medical or surgical treatment.	241
Any person who disobeys the order for reimbursement may be	242
adjudged in contempt of court and punished accordingly.	243

If the emergency medical or surgical treatment is furnished	244
to a child who is found at the hearing to be a nonresident of the	245
county in which the court is located and if the expense of the	246
medical or surgical treatment cannot be recovered from the	247
parents, legal guardian, or custodian of the child, the board of	248
county commissioners of the county in which the child has a legal	249
settlement shall reimburse the court for the reasonable cost of	250
the emergency medical or surgical treatment out of its general	251
fund.	252

(B)(1) After a complaint, petition, writ, or other document	253
initiating a case dealing with an alleged or adjudicated abused,	254
neglected, or dependent child is filed and upon the filing or	255
making of a motion pursuant to division (C) of this section, the	256
court, prior to the final disposition of the case, may issue any	257
of the following temporary orders to protect the best interest of	258
the child:	259

(a) An order granting temporary custody of the child to a	260
particular party;	261

(b) An order for the taking of the child into custody	262
pursuant to section 2151.31 of the Revised Code pending the	263
outcome of the adjudicatory and dispositional hearings;	264

(c) An order granting, limiting, or eliminating parenting	265
time or visitation rights with respect to the child;	266

(d) An order requiring a party to vacate a residence that	267
will be lawfully occupied by the child;	268

(e) An order requiring a party to attend an appropriate	269
counseling program that is reasonably available to that party;	270

(f) Any other order that restrains or otherwise controls the	271
conduct of any party which conduct would not be in the best	272
interest of the child.	273

(2) Prior to the final disposition of a case subject to	274
division (B)(1) of this section, the court shall do both of the	275
following:	276

(a) Issue an order pursuant to Chapters 3119. to 3125. of	277
the Revised Code requiring the parents, guardian, or person	278
charged with the child's support to pay support for the child.	279

(b) Issue an order requiring the parents, guardian, or	280
person charged with the child's support to continue to maintain	281
any health insurance coverage for the child that existed at the	282
time of the filing of the complaint, petition, writ, or other	283
document, or to obtain health insurance coverage in accordance	284
with sections 3119.303119.29 to 3119.583119.56 of the Revised	285
Code.	286

(C)(1) A court may issue an order pursuant to division (B)	287
of this section upon its own motion or if a party files a written	288
motion or makes an oral motion requesting the issuance of the	289
order and stating the reasons for it. Any notice sent by the	290
court as a result of a motion pursuant to this division shall	291
contain a notice that any party to a juvenile proceeding has the	292
right to be represented by counsel and to have appointed counsel	293
if the person is indigent.	294

(2) If a child is taken into custody pursuant to section	295
2151.31 of the Revised Code and placed in shelter care, the public	296
children services agency or private child placing agency with	297
which the child is placed in shelter care shall file or make a	298
motion as described in division (C)(1) of this section before the	299
end of the next day immediately after the date on which the child	300
was taken into custody and, at a minimum, shall request an order	301
for temporary custody under division (B)(1)(a) of this section.	302

(3) A court that issues an order pursuant to division	303
(B)(1)(b) of this section shall comply with section 2151.419 of	304
the Revised Code.	305

(D) The court may grant an ex parte order upon its own	306
motion or a motion filed or made pursuant to division (C) of this	307
section requesting such an order if it appears to the court that	308
the best interest and the welfare of the child require that the	309
court issue the order immediately. The court, if acting on its	310
own motion, or the person requesting the granting of an ex parte	311
order, to the extent possible, shall give notice of its intent or	312
of the request to the parents, guardian, or custodian of the child	313
who is the subject of the request. If the court issues an ex	314
parte order, the court shall hold a hearing to review the order	315
within seventy-two hours after it is issued or before the end of	316
the next day after the day on which it is issued, whichever occurs	317
first. The court shall give written notice of the hearing to all	318
parties to the action and shall appoint a guardian ad litem for	319
the child prior to the hearing.	320

The written notice shall be given by all means that are	321
reasonably likely to result in the party receiving actual notice	322
and shall include all of the following:	323

(1) The date, time, and location of the hearing;

324

(2) The issues to be addressed at the hearing;

325

(3) A statement that every party to the hearing has a right	326
to counsel and to court-appointed counsel, if the party is	327
indigent;	328

(4) The name, telephone number, and address of the person	329
requesting the order;	330

(5) A copy of the order, except when it is not possible to	331
obtain it because of the exigent circumstances in the case.	332

If the court does not grant an ex parte order pursuant to a	333
motion filed or made pursuant to division (C) of this section or	334
its own motion, the court shall hold a shelter care hearing on the	335
motion within ten days after the motion is filed. The court shall	336
give notice of the hearing to all affected parties in the same	337
manner as set forth in the Juvenile Rules.	338

(E) The court, pending the outcome of the adjudicatory and	339
dispositional hearings, shall not issue an order granting	340
temporary custody of a child to a public children services agency	341
or private child placing agency pursuant to this section, unless	342
the court determines and specifically states in the order that the	343
continued residence of the child in the child's current home will	344
be contrary to the child's best interest and welfare and the court	345
complies with section 2151.419 of the Revised Code.	346

(B)(1) If the court or child support enforcement agency	1170
determines that the obligor has funds that are not exempt under	1171
the laws of this state or the United States from execution,	1172
attachment, or other legal process and are on deposit in an	1173
account in a financial institution under the jurisdiction of the	1174
court that issued the court support order, or in the case of an	1175
administrative child support order, under the jurisdiction of the	1176
common pleas court of the county in which the agency that issued	1177
or is administering the order is located, the court or agency may	1178
require any financial institution in which the obligor's funds are	1179
on deposit to do all of the following:	1180

(a) Deduct from the obligor's account a specified amount for	1181
support in satisfaction of the support order and begin the	1182
deduction no later than fourteen business days following the date	1183
the notice was mailed to the financial institution under section	1184
3121.035 or 3123.06 of the Revised Code and division (B)(2) of	1185
this section;	1186

(b) Send the amount deducted to the office of child support	1187
in the department of job and family services pursuant to section	1188
3121.43 of the Revised Code immediately but not later than seven	1189
business days after the date the latest deduction was made;	1190

(c) Provide the date on which the amount was deducted;

1191

(d) Continue the deduction at intervals specified in the	1192
notice until further notice from the court or child support	1193
enforcement agency.	1194

To the extent possible, the amount to be deducted shall	1195
satisfy the amount ordered for support in the support order plus	1196
any arrearages that may be owed by the obligor under any prior	1197
support order that pertained to the same child or spouse,	1198
notwithstanding the limitations of sections 2329.66, 2329.70, and	1199
2716.13 of the Revised Code.	1200

(2) A court or agency that imposes a deduction requirement	1201
shall, within the applicable period of time specified in section	1202
3119.80, 3119.81, 3121.035, or 3123.06 of the Revised Code, send	1203
to the financial institution by regular mail a notice that	1204
contains all of the information applicable to deduction notices	1205
set forth in section 3121.037 of the Revised Code. The notice is	1206
final and is enforceable by the court.	1207

(C) With respect to any court support order it issues, a	1208
court may issue an order requiring the obligor to enter into a	1209
cash bond with the court. The court shall issue the order as part	1210
of the court support order or, if the court support order has	1211
previously been issued, as a separate order. The cash bond shall	1212
be in a sum fixed by the court at not less than five hundred nor	1213
more than ten thousand dollars, conditioned that the obligor will	1214
make payment as previously ordered and will pay any arrearages	1215
under any prior court support order that pertained to the same	1216
child or spouse.	1217

The order, along with an additional order requiring the	1218
obligor to immediately notify the child support enforcement	1219
agency, in writing, if the obligor begins to receive income from a	1220
payor, shall be attached to and served on the obligor at the same	1221
time as service of the court support order or, if the court	1222
support order has previously been issued, as soon as possible	1223
after the issuance of the order under this section. The	1224
additional order requiring notice by the obligor shall state all	1225
of the following:	1226

(1) That when the obligor begins to receive income from a	1227
payor the obligor may request that the court cancel its bond order	1228
and instead issue a notice requiring the withholding of an amount	1229
from income for support in accordance with this section;	1230

(2) That when the obligor begins to receive income from a	1231
payor the court will proceed to collect on the bond if the court	1232
determines that payments due under the court support order have	1233
not been made and that the amount that has not been paid is at	1234
least equal to the support owed for one month under the court	1235
support order and will issue a notice requiring the withholding of	1236
an amount from income for support in accordance with this section.	1237
The notice required of the obligor shall include a description of	1238
the nature of any new employment, the name and business address of	1239
any new employer, and any other information reasonably required by	1240
the court.	1241

The court shall not order an obligor to post a cash bond	1242
under this section unless the court determines that the obligor	1243
has the ability to do so.	1244

A child support enforcement agency may not issue a cash bond	1245
order. If a child support enforcement agency is required to issue	1246
a withholding or deduction notice under this section with respect	1247
to a court support order but the agency determines that no	1248
withholding or deduction notice would be appropriate, the agency	1249
may request that the court issue a cash bond order under this	1250
section, and upon the request, the court may issue the order.	1251

(D)(1) If the obligor under a court support order is	1252
unemployed, has no income, and does not have an account at any	1253
financial institution, or on request of a child support	1254
enforcement agency under division (D)(1) or (2) of this section,	1255
the court shall issue an order requiring the obligor, if able to	1256
engage in employment, to seek employment or participate in a work	1257
activity to which a recipient of assistance under Title IV-A of	1258
the "Social Security Act," 49 Stat. 620 (1935), 42 U.S.C.A. 301,	1259
as amended, may be assigned as specified in section 407(d) of the	1260
"Social Security Act," 42 U.S.C.A. 607(d), as amended. The court	1261
shall include in the order a requirement that the obligor notify	1262
the child support enforcement agency on obtaining employment,	1263
obtaining any income, or obtaining ownership of any asset with a	1264
value of five hundred dollars or more. The court may issue the	1265
order regardless of whether the obligee to whom the obligor owes	1266
support is a recipient of assistance under Title IV-A of the	1267
"Social Security Act." The court shall issue the order as part of	1268
a court support order or, if a court support order has previously	1269
been issued, as a separate order. If a child support enforcement	1270
agency is required to issue a withholding or deduction notice	1271
under this section with respect to a court support order but	1272
determines that no withholding or deduction notice would be	1273
appropriate, the agency may request that the court issue a court	1274
order under division (D)(1) of this section, and, on the request,	1275
the court may issue the order.	1276

(2) If the obligor under an administrative child support	1277
order is unemployed, has no income, and does not have an account	1278
at any financial institution, the agency shall issue an	1279
administrative order requiring the obligor, if able to engage in	1280
employment, to seek employment or participate in a work activity	1281
to which a recipient of assistance under Title IV-A of the "Social	1282
Security Act," 49 Stat. 620 (1935), 42 U.S.C.A. 301, as amended,	1283
may be assigned as specified in section 407(d) of the "Social	1284
Security Act," 42 U.S.C.A. 607(d), as amended. The agency shall	1285
include in the order a requirement that the obligor notify the	1286
agency on obtaining employment or income, or ownership of any	1287
asset with a value of five hundred dollars or more. The agency	1288
may issue the order regardless of whether the obligee to whom the	1289
obligor owes support is a recipient of assistance under Title IV-A	1290
of the "Social Security Act." If an obligor fails to comply with	1291
an administrative order issued pursuant to division (D)(2) of this	1292
section, the agency shall submit a request to a court for the	1293
court to issue an order under division (D)(1) of this section.	1294

Sec. 3121.035.  Within fifteen days after an obligor under a	1295
support order is located following issuance or modification of the	1296
support order or within fifteen days after default under a support	1297
order, whichever is applicable, the court or child support	1298
enforcement agency that issued or modified the support order, or	1299
the agency, pursuant to an agreement with the court with respect	1300
to a court support order, shall do either of the following:	1301

(A) If a withholding or deduction notice described in	1302
section 3121.03 of the Revised Code is appropriate, send the	1303
notice by regular mail to each person required to comply with it;	1304

(B) If an order described in section 3121.03, 3121.04 to	1305
3121.08, or 3121.12 of the Revised Code is appropriate, issue and	1306
send the appropriate order.	1307

Sec. 3121.27.  (A) A court or child support enforcement	1308
agency shall include in any order for support it issues a general	1309
provision that states the following:	1310

"All support under this order shall be withheld or deducted	1311
from the income or assets of the obligor pursuant to a withholding	1312
or deduction notice or appropriate order issued in accordance with	1313
Chapters 3119., 3121., 3123., and 3125. of the Revised Code or a	1314
withdrawal directive issued pursuant to sections 3123.24 to	1315
3123.38 of the Revised Code and shall be forwarded to the obligee	1316
in accordance with Chapters 3119., 3121., 3123., and 3125. of the	1317
Revised Code."	1318

(B) All support orders issued prior to December 31, 1993,	1319
that have not been modified or subject to division (B) of former	1320
section 3113.21 of the Revised Code or sections 3123.02 to	1321
3123.071 of the Revised Code, regarding a default under the order	1322
on or after that dateMarch 22, 2001, shall be considered to	1323
contain the general provision described in this section and shall	1324
be enforced and modified in the same manner as a support order	1325
issued on or after December 31, 1993that date.	1326

Sec. 3121.58.  If an obligor fails to pay themake the	1327
payment required administrative charge amount with each current	1328
support payment due in increments specified under the support	1329
orderby division (B) of section 3119.28 of the Revised Code, the	1330
office of child support shall maintain a separate arrearage	1331
account of that amount for the obligor. The office shall not	1332
deduct the unpaid amount from any support payment due the obligee	1333
under the support order.	1334

Sec. 3121.67.  The office of child support may enter into	1335
contracts with public entities or private vendors for the	1336
collection of amounts due under support orders or for the	1337
performance of other administrative duties of the office. The	1338
office may contract with a public or private entity for the	1339
collection of arrearages owed under any child support order for	1340
which a court or a child support enforcement agency has found the	1341
obligor in default pursuant to a final and enforceable order	1342
issued pursuant to sections 3123.023123.01 to 3123.0713123.07 of	1343
the Revised Code. Each contract shall comply with the rules	1344
adopted pursuant to section 3121.71 of the Revised Code.	1345

Sec. 3121.896.  Not later than the business day after receipt	1346
of the notice described in section 3121.895 of the Revised Code,	1347
the child support enforcement agency administering the support	1348
order shall send a withholding notice to the employer pursuant to	1349
section 3121.03 of the Revised Code, unless the employee's income	1350
is not subject to withholding, and shall take any other	1351
appropriate action under Chapters 3119., 3121., 3123., and 3125.	1352
of the Revised Code. Identification of a default under section	1353
3123.02 of the Revised Code does not in any way affect the	1354
requirement that a withholding notice be sent to an employer under	1355
this section within the time required by this section.	1356

Sec. 3123.01.  As used in this chapter:

same meanings as in section 3119.01 of the Revised Code.	1359

3123.03 of the Revised Code.	1364

identified as being in default under the order and is also	1369
identified under section 3121.895 of the Revised Code as obtaining	1370
employment, the withholding notice issued under section 3121.03 of	1371
the Revised Code in accordance with section 3121.896 of the	1372
Revised Code shall require the arrearage amount resulting from the	1373
default to be withheld in addition to current support amounts.	1374

If an obligor under a support order is identified as being in	1375
default under the order and is also identified through a source	1376
other than section 3121.895 of the Revised Code as obtaining	1377
employment, the child support enforcement agency administering the	1378
order shall send a withholding notice to the employer pursuant to	1379
section 3121.03 of the Revised Code, unless the employee's income	1380
is not subject to withholding, not later than two business days	1381
after discovery of the employment. The withholding notice shall	1382
require the arrearage amount resulting from the default to be	1383
withheld in addition to current support amounts.	1384

notice issued in accordance with this section beginning on the	1386
date it is issued and ending on the date the period of default	1387
ends.	1388

Sec. 3123.022.  The issuance of a withholding notice in	1389
accordance with section 3123.021 of the Revised Code does not	1390
affect the obligor's right to contest pursuant to sections 3123.04	1391
and 3123.05 of the Revised Code an identification of default or	1392
the amount of arrearages identified under the default.	1393

The timely filing of a written request or motion for an	1394
administrative or court hearing under section 3123.04 or 3123.05	1395
of the Revised Code does not cause the suspension of a withholding	1396
notice issued in accordance with section 3123.021 of the Revised	1397
Code.	1398

order in default. On and after that date, the office shall send	1414
the advancea default notice to the obligor. The agency or office,	1415
as appropriate, shall send the advance notice to the obligor only	1416
once for each period of default. The advancedefault notice shall	1417
include a notice describingsummary of the actions that may be	1418
taken against the obligor if the court or agency makes a final and	1419
enforceable determination that the obligor is in default. If the	1420
location of the obligor is unknown at the time of the	1421
identification of a default under the support order, the agency or	1422
office, as appropriate, shall send the advancedefault notice to	1423
the obligor within fifteen days after the agency locates the	1424
obligorobligor's last known address.	1425

mistake of fact was made in the notice. The request must be filed	1538
not later than seven business days after the date on which the	1539
default notice is sent.	1540

If the obligor requestsmakes a timely request for a hearing	1541
regarding the advance notice in accordance with division (C)(4) of	1542
section 3123.03 of the Revised Code, the child support enforcement	1543
agency shall conduct an administrative hearing no later than ten	1544
days after the date on which the obligor files the request for the	1545
hearing. No later than five days before the date on which the	1546
hearing is to be conducted, the agency shall send the obligor and	1547
the obligee written notice of the date, time, place, and purpose	1548
of the hearing. The notice to the obligor and obligee also shall	1549
indicate that the obligor may present testimony and evidence at	1550
the hearing only in regard to the issue of whether a mistake of	1551
fact was made in the advancedefault notice.	1552

At the hearing, the child support enforcement agency shall	1553
determine whether a mistake of fact was made in the advance	1554
default notice. If it determines that a mistake of fact was made,	1555
the agency shall determine the provisions that should be changed	1556
and included in a corrected notice and shall correct the advance	1557
notice accordingly. The agency shall send its determinations to	1558
the obligor. The agency's determinations are final and are	1559
enforceable by the court unless, within seven business days after	1560
the agency makes its determinations, the obligor files a written	1561
motion with the court for a court hearing to determine whether a	1562
mistake of fact still exists in the advancedefault notice or	1563
