What this bill does

Plain-language analysis by the nonpartisan Legislative Reference Bureau

2009 Wisconsin Act 321

amended the Uniform Interstate Family Support Act

(UIFSA) primarily to clarify UIFSA's application to foreign countries, in recognition

of and in conformity with the ratification by the United States of the Convention on

the International Recovery of Child Support and Other Forms of Family

Maintenance (the convention), concluded at The Hague on November 23, 2007.

Under

2009 Wisconsin Act 321

, the amendments to UIFSA do not go into effect until

the day the United States deposits the instrument of ratification for the convention.

This bill makes the amendments go into effect on the day the United States deposits

the instrument of ratification for the convention or on December 18, 2015, whichever

is earlier. The bill also makes some minor technical modifications to more closely

align the language of the statutes with the language of UIFSA.
