(A) Report periodically to consumer reporting agencies the name of any obligor who is delinquent in the payment of support and the amount owed by the obligor; and
(B) Otherwise make available to a consumer reporting agency upon its request information regarding the amount of past due support owed by an obligor.
(b) The department shall provide advance notice to the obligor concerning the proposed reporting of information to the consumer reporting agencies. The notice must inform the obligor:
