N.D. Cent. Code § 50-09-02.1
in effect50-09-02.1. State agency to submit plans - Administer programs under title IV-A and
title IV-D - Establish data system - Provide capacity for electronic funds transfer.
1. The state agency may submit state plans in forms that meet the requirements for such
plans which are, or may be, imposed under title IV-A or title IV-D. The state agency
may take actions reasonably necessary to conform the administration of programs
under its supervision and direction to the requirements of title IV-A or title IV-D and the
state plans submitted thereunder, including the issuance of policy manuals, forms, and
program directives. The state agency may seek appropriate waivers of the
requirements of federal statutes or regulations as authorized by federal law.
2. The state agency shall establish a statewide automated data processing system
designed to conform to requirements imposed by or under title IV-D. The official
records of the state regarding all child support amounts owed, collected, and
distributed must be maintained in that system. Notwithstanding section 14-08.1-05,
any record of a child support obligation that is currently being enforced in another
jurisdiction and not by a child support agency, that is owed by an obligor who is
deceased, or that is owed to a deceased obligee for whom disbursement of any
collections could not occur under section 14-09-25, may be removed indefinitely from
the statewide automated data processing system until a request is received from a
party to the child support case to restore those records.
3. The statewide automated data processing system must provide capability for
electronic funds transfer for the purpose of income withholding and interstate
collections.
