  1. The department of human services, as the Title IV-D child support enforcement agency of this state, shall use high-volume automated administrative enforcement, to the same extent as used for intrastate cases, in response to a request made by another state to enforce support orders, and shall promptly report the results of such enforcement procedure to the requesting state.
  2. The agencies of this or any state that enforce child support may, by electronic or other means, transmit to another state or to this state a request for assistance in enforcing support orders through high-volume, automated administrative enforcement, which request:
    1. Shall include such information as will enable the state to which the request is transmitted to compare the information about the cases to the information in the data bases of the state receiving the request; and
    2. Shall constitute a certification by the requesting state:
      1. Of the amount of support under an order the payment of which is in arrears; and
      2. That the requesting state has complied with all procedural due process requirements applicable to each case.
  3. If the department provides assistance to another state with respect to a case, or if another state seeks assistance from the department pursuant to this section, neither state shall consider the case to be transferred to the caseload of such other state.
  4. The department shall maintain records of:
    1. The number of such requests for assistance received by the department;
    2. The number of cases for which the department collected support in response to such a request; and
    3. The amount of such collected support.
  5. In this part, the term “high-volume automated administrative enforcement” in interstate cases means, on request of another state, the identification by the department, through automated data matches with financial institutions and other entities where assets may be found, of assets owned by persons who owe child support in other states, and the seizure of such assets by the department, through levy or other appropriate means.
