This bill allows courts to award the federal child tax credit to the noncustodial parent (the parent who doesn't have primary custody) by ordering the custodial parent to release their claim to it, specifying which tax years apply. It also lets parents modify existing child support orders made before July 1, 2019 solely to transfer the tax credit without needing to prove a major change in circumstances.
This bill does not directly amend codified state law.
