2006 Massachusetts Code - Chapter 62E — Section 11. Program of wage and financial institution information sharing with other states.

Section 11. The commissioner, in cooperation with the IV–D agency, shall establish a program of wage and financial institution information sharing with other states, as required by federal law. The commissioner is hereby authorized to enter into reciprocal agreements with other states to share lists of obligors who owe support payments to the IV–D agency. Such reciprocal agreements shall only be made with states which administer programs that are substantially similar to the wage reporting system. The wage and financial institution information sharing program shall apply only to states which have similar prohibitions and penalties for disclosure of information as provided in this chapter and only if such prohibitions and penalties apply to information which is transmitted by the commissioner or the IV–D agency to the other states. The prohibitions and penalties imposed by said section forty-three of said chapter two hundred and seventy-one shall also apply to any such information received from any other state under a reciprocal agreement.
