5. (a) If the Title IV-D agency finds that an
obligor is delinquent and issues an order to the bureau of motor
vehicles stating that the obligor is delinquent under section 32(b) or
33(d) of this chapter, the obligor may have the obligor's driving
privileges reinstated by making a single payment of either:
(1) if the obligor is required by court order to pay a child support
obligation, the equivalent of eight (8) weeks of the child support
order to the clerk of the court or the state central collection unit;
or
(2) if the obligor is no longer required to pay a child support
obligation but has a child support arrearage, the equivalent of
eight (8) weeks of the most recent child support order or the full
amount of the child support arrearage, whichever is less, to the
clerk of the court or the state central collection unit.
(b) If the court ordered support obligation cannot be determined for
an obligor, the obligor shall contact the Title IV-D agency enforcing
the child support order to reach an agreement for a payment amount
that must be paid for the obligor to have the obligor's driving privileges
reinstated.
(c) Once the obligor pays the required amount under subsection (a)
or (b), the obligor shall provide proof of payment to the Title IV-D
agency enforcing the child support order. Within seven (7) days of
confirming the obligor's payment, the Title IV-D agency shall issue an
order to the bureau of motor vehicles to reinstate the obligor's driving
privileges.
(d) If multiple orders have been issued by the Title IV-D agency to
the bureau of motor vehicles to suspend the obligor's driving privileges,
the obligor must make a required payment under subsection (a) in each
case where an order to suspend the obligor's driving privileges is issued
to have those suspensions of the obligor's driving privileges lifted.
(e) The Title IV-D agency shall monitor compliance with the court
ordered child support obligation for a period of sixty (60) days after the
obligor's driving privileges are reinstated. After the period of sixty (60)
days, if the obligor has failed to comply with the child support order
and is again delinquent, as defined by section 2 of this chapter, the
Title IV-D agency may again initiate the process to suspend the
obligor's driving privileges under section 32 of this chapter.
(f) This section does not prevent the:
(1) Title IV-D agency from entering into and enforcing a child
support payment agreement with the obligor, including
suspension of the child support obligor's driver's license; or
(2) obligor from filing a petition for specialized driving privileges
under IC 9-30-16.
