1.4 	subdivision 4, by adding a subdivision; 518A.42; 518A.43, by adding a subdivision.
1.5 	BE IT ENACTED BY THE LEGISLATURE OF THE STATE OF MINNESOTA:

1.6 	Section 1. Minnesota Statutes 2018, section 518A.29, is amended to read:
1.7 	518A.29 CALCULATION OF GROSS INCOME.
1.8 	(a) Subject to the exclusions and deductions in this section, gross income includes any 
1.9 	form of periodic payment to an individual, including, but not limited to, salaries, wages, 
1.10 	commissions, self-employment income under section 518A.30, workers' compensation, 
1.11 	unemployment benefits, annuity payments, military and naval retirement, pension and 
1.12 	disability payments, spousal maintenance received under a previous order or the current 
1.13 	proceeding, Social Security or veterans benefits provided for a joint child under section 
1.14 	518A.31, and potential income under section 518A.32. Salaries, wages, commissions, or 
1.15 	other compensation paid by third parties shall be based upon gross income before 
1.16 	participation in an employer-sponsored benefit plan that allows an employee to pay for a 
1.17 	benefit or expense using pretax dollars, such as flexible spending plans and health savings 
1.18 	accounts. No deductions shall be allowed for contributions to pensions, 401-K, IRA, or 
1.19 	other retirement benefits.
1.20 	(b) Gross income does not include compensation received by a party for employment 
1.21 	in excess of a 40-hour work week, provided that:
1.22 	(1) child support is ordered in an amount at least equal to the guideline amount based 
1.23 	on gross income not excluded under this clause; and
2.1 	(2) the party demonstrates, and the court finds, that:
2.2 	(i) the excess employment began after the filing of the petition for dissolution or legal 
2.3 	separation or a petition related to custody, parenting time, or support;
2.4 	(ii) the excess employment reflects an increase in the work schedule or hours worked 
2.5 	over that of the two years immediately preceding the filing of the petition;
2.6 	(iii) the excess employment is voluntary and not a condition of employment;
2.7 	(iv) the excess employment is in the nature of additional, part-time or overtime 
2.8 	employment compensable by the hour or fraction of an hour; and
2.9 	(v) the party's compensation structure has not been changed for the purpose of affecting 
2.10 	a support or maintenance obligation.
2.11 	(c) Expense reimbursements or in-kind payments received by a parent in the course of 
2.12 	employment, self-employment, or operation of a business shall be counted as income if 
2.13 	they reduce personal living expenses.
2.14 	(d) Gross income may be calculated on either an annual or monthly basis. Weekly income 
2.15 	shall be translated to monthly income by multiplying the weekly income by 4.33.
2.16 	(e) Gross income does not include a child support payment received by a party. It is a 
2.17 	rebuttable presumption that adoption assistance payments, Northstar kinship assistance 
2.18 	payments, and foster care subsidies are not gross income.
2.19 	(f) Gross income does not include the income of the obligor's spouse and the obligee's 
2.20 	spouse.
2.21 	(g) Child support or spousal maintenance payments ordered by a court for a nonjoint 
2.22 	child or former spouse or ordered payable to the other party as part of the current proceeding 
2.23 	are deducted from other periodic payments received by a party for purposes of determining 
2.24 	gross income.
2.25 	(h) (g) Gross income does not include public assistance benefits received under section 
2.26 	256.741 or other forms of public assistance based on need.

2.27 	Sec. 2. Minnesota Statutes 2018, section 518A.33, is amended to read:
2.28 	518A.33 DEDUCTION FROM INCOME FOR NONJOINT CHILDREN.
2.29 	(a) When either or both parents are legally responsible for a nonjoint child, a deduction 
2.30 	for this obligation shall be calculated under this section if:.
2.31 	(1) the nonjoint child primarily resides in the parent's household; and
3.1 	(2) the parent is not obligated to pay basic child support for the nonjoint child to the 
3.2 	other parent or a legal custodian of the child under an existing child support order.
3.3 	(b) The court shall use the guidelines under section 518A.35 to determine the basic child 
3.4 	support obligation for the nonjoint child or children by using the gross income of the parent 
3.5 	for whom the deduction is being calculated and the number of nonjoint children primarily 
3.6 	residing in the parent's household. If the number of nonjoint children to be used for the 
3.7 	determination is greater than two, the determination must be made using the number two 
3.8 	instead of the greater number. Court-ordered child support or spousal maintenance payments 
3.9 	for a nonjoint child or former spouse, or payments ordered to the other party as part of a 
3.10 	current proceeding, shall be deducted from the payor's gross income.
3.11 	(c) The deduction for nonjoint children is 50 percent of the guideline amount determined 
3.12 	under paragraph (b). When a parent is legally responsible for a nonjoint child and the parent 
3.13 	is not obligated to pay basic child support for the nonjoint child to the other parent or a legal 
3.14 	custodian under an existing child support order, a deduction shall be calculated. The court 
3.15 	shall use the basic support guideline table under section 518A.35 to determine this deduction 
3.16 	by using the gross income of the parent for whom the deduction is being calculated, minus 
3.17 	any deduction under paragraph (b) and the number of eligible nonjoint children, up to six 
3.18 	children. The deduction for nonjoint children is 75 percent of the guideline amount 
3.19 	determined under this paragraph.

3.20 	Sec. 3. Minnesota Statutes 2018, section 518A.35, subdivision 1, is amended to read:
3.21 		Subdivision 1.Determination of support obligation. (a) The guideline in this section 
3.22 	is a rebuttable presumption and shall be used in any judicial or administrative proceeding 
3.23 	to establish or modify a support obligation under this chapter.
3.24 	(b) The basic child support obligation shall be determined by referencing the guideline 
3.25 	for the appropriate number of joint children and the combined parental income for 
3.26 	determining child support of the parents.
3.27 	(c) If a child is not in the custody of either parent and a support order is sought against 
3.28 	one or both parents, the basic child support obligation shall be determined by referencing 
3.29 	the guideline for the appropriate number of joint children, and the parent's individual parental 
3.30 	income for determining child support, not the combined parental incomes for determining 
3.31 	child support of the parents. Unless a parent has court-ordered parenting time, the parenting 
3.32 	expense adjustment formula under section 518A.34 must not be applied.
4.1 	(d) If a child is in the custody of either parent and a support order is sought by the public 
4.2 	authority in an action involving only one parent under section 256.87, unless the parent 
4.3 	against whom the support order is sought has court-ordered parenting time, the support 
4.4 	obligation must be determined by referencing the guideline for the appropriate number of 
4.5 	joint children and the parent's individual income without application of the parenting expense 
4.6 	adjustment formula under section 518A.34.
4.7 	(e) For combined parental incomes for determining child support exceeding $15,000
4.8 	$20,000 per month, the presumed basic child support obligations shall be as for parents 
4.9 	with combined parental income for determining child support of $15,000 $20,000 per month. 
4.10 	A basic child support obligation in excess of this level may be demonstrated for those reasons 
4.11 	set forth in section 518A.43.

4.12 	Sec. 4. Minnesota Statutes 2018, section 518A.35, subdivision 2, is amended to read:
4.13 		Subd. 2.Basic support; guideline. Unless otherwise agreed to by the parents and 
4.14 	approved by the court, when establishing basic support, the court must order that basic 
4.15 	support be divided between the parents based on their proportionate share of the parents' 
4.16 	combined monthly parental income for determining child support (PICS). Basic support 
4.17 	must be computed using the following guideline:

12.9 	EFFECTIVE DATE. This section is effective August 31, 2021.

12.10 	Sec. 5. Minnesota Statutes 2018, section 518A.40, is amended by adding a subdivision to 
12.11 	read:
12.12 		Subd. 1a.Child care support obligation. (a) Unless there is a protective or restraining 
12.13 	order issued by the court regarding one of the parties or on behalf of a joint child when child 
12.14 	care support is ordered to be paid by the obligor:
12.15 	(1) the obligee must give the child care provider the name and address of the obligor 
12.16 	and must give the obligor the name, address, and telephone number of the child care provider; 
12.17 	and
12.18 	(2) by February 1 of each year, the obligee must provide the obligor with a document 
12.19 	from the child care provider that itemizes the total child care expenses paid for the previous 
12.20 	year. If there is a change in the child care provider, the type of child care provider, or the 
12.21 	age group of the child, the obligee must give the obligor an updated document. If the obligee 
12.22 	fails to provide the annual or updated document from the provider, the obligor may request 
12.23 	the document from the provider.
12.24 	(b) When the obligee is no longer incurring child care expenses, the obligee must notify 
12.25 	the obligor, and the public authority if it provides child support services, that the child care 
12.26 	expenses ended and on which date.

12.27 	Sec. 6. Minnesota Statutes 2018, section 518A.40, subdivision 4, is amended to read:
12.28 		Subd. 4.Change in child care. (a) When child care expenses end the court must decrease 
12.29 	the child care support obligation as of the effective date the child care expenses ended.
12.30 	(b) Title IV-D cases may use the expedited child support hearing process to get the child 
12.31 	care expenses removed from the child care support amount when child care expenses end. 
12.32 	The parties may contact the public authority about filing a stipulation.
13.1 	(a) (c) When a court order provides for child care expenses, and child care support is 
13.2 	not assigned under section 256.741, the public authority, if the public authority provides 
13.3 	child support enforcement services, may suspend collecting the amount allocated for child 
13.4 	care expenses when either party informs the public authority that no child care costs expenses
13.5 	are being incurred and:
13.6 	(1) the public authority verifies the accuracy of the information with the obligee; or
13.7 	(2) the obligee fails to respond within 30 days of the date of a written request from the 
13.8 	public authority for information regarding child care costs. A written or oral response from 
13.9 	the obligee that child care costs are being incurred is sufficient for the public authority to 
13.10 	continue collecting child care expenses.
13.11 	The suspension is effective as of the first day of the month following the date that the public 
13.12 	authority either verified the information with the obligee or the obligee failed to respond.
13.13 	The public authority will resume collecting child care expenses when either party provides 
13.14 	information that child care costs are incurred, or when a child care support assignment takes 
13.15 	effect under section 256.741, subdivision 4. The resumption is effective as of the first day 
13.16 	of the month after the date that the public authority received the information.
13.17 	(b) (d) If the parties provide conflicting information to the public authority regarding 
13.18 	whether child care expenses are being incurred, the public authority will continue or resume 
13.19 	collecting child care expenses. Either party, by motion to the court, may challenge the 
13.20 	suspension, continuation, or resumption of the collection of child care expenses under this 
13.21 	subdivision. If the public authority suspends collection activities for the amount allocated 
13.22 	for child care expenses, all other provisions of the court order remain in effect.
13.23 	(c) (e) In cases where there is a substantial increase or decrease in child care expenses, 
13.24 	the parties may modify the order under section 518A.39.

13.25 	Sec. 7. Minnesota Statutes 2018, section 518A.42, is amended to read:
13.26 	518A.42 ABILITY TO PAY; SELF-SUPPORT ADJUSTMENT.
13.27 		Subdivision 1.Ability to pay. (a) It is a rebuttable presumption that a child support 
13.28 	order should not exceed the obligor's ability to pay. To determine the amount of child support 
13.29 	the obligor has the ability to pay, the court shall follow the procedure set out in this section.
13.30 	(b) The court shall calculate the obligor's income available for support by subtracting a 
13.31 	monthly self-support reserve equal to 120 percent of the federal poverty guidelines for one 
13.32 	person from the obligor's gross income parental income for determining child support (PICS). 
14.1 	If the obligor's income available for support calculated under this paragraph is equal to or 
14.2 	greater than the obligor's support obligation calculated under section 518A.34, the court 
14.3 	shall order child support under section 518A.34.
14.4 	(c) If the obligor's income available for support calculated under paragraph (b) is more 
14.5 	than the minimum support amount under subdivision 2, but less than the guideline amount 
14.6 	under section 518A.34, then the court shall apply a reduction to the child support obligation 
14.7 	in the following order, until the support order is equal to the obligor's income available for 
14.8 	support:
14.9 	(1) medical support obligation;
14.10 	(2) child care support obligation; and
14.11 	(3) basic support obligation.
14.12 	(d) If the obligor's income available for support calculated under paragraph (b) is equal 
14.13 	to or less than the minimum support amount under subdivision 2 or if the obligor's gross 
14.14 	income is less than 120 percent of the federal poverty guidelines for one person, the minimum 
14.15 	support amount under subdivision 2 applies.
14.16 		Subd. 2.Minimum basic support amount. (a) If the basic support amount applies, the 
14.17 	court must order the following amount as the minimum basic support obligation:
14.18 	(1) for one or two children child, the obligor's basic support obligation is $50 per month;
14.19 	(2) for two children, the obligor's basic support obligation is $60 per month;
14.20 	(3) for three or four children, the obligor's basic support obligation is $75 $70 per month; 
14.21 	and
14.22 	(4) for four children, the obligor's basic support obligation is $80 per month;
14.23 	(3) (5) for five or more children, the obligor's basic support obligation is $100 $90 per 
14.24 	month.; and
14.25 	(6) for six or more children, the obligor's basic support obligation is $100 per month.
14.26 	(b) If the court orders the obligor to pay the minimum basic support amount under this 
14.27 	subdivision, the obligor is presumed unable to pay child care support and medical support.
14.28 	If the court finds the obligor receives no income and completely lacks the ability to earn 
14.29 	income, the minimum basic support amount under this subdivision does not apply.
14.30 		Subd. 3.Exception. (a) This section does not apply to an obligor who is incarcerated.
15.1 	(b) If the court finds the obligor receives no income and completely lacks the ability to 
15.2 	earn income, the minimum basic support amount under this subdivision does not apply.
15.3 	(c) If the obligor's basic support amount is reduced below the minimum basic support 
15.4 	amount due to the application of the parenting expense adjustment, the minimum basic 
15.5 	support amount under this subdivision does not apply and the lesser amount is the guideline 
15.6 	basic support.

15.7 	Sec. 8. Minnesota Statutes 2018, section 518A.43, is amended by adding a subdivision to 
15.8 	read:
15.9 		Subd. 1b.Increase in income of custodial parent. In a modification of support under 
15.10 	section 518A.39, the court may deviate from the presumptive child support obligation under 
15.11 	section 518A.34 when the only change in circumstances is an increase to the custodial 
15.12 	parent's income and:
15.13 	(1) the basic support increases;
15.14 	(2) the parties' combined gross income is $6,000 or less; or
15.15 	(3) the obligor's income is $2,000 or less.
