(a) The department of human services or any of its Title IV-D child support contractors shall report periodically to consumer reporting agencies, as defined in the Fair Credit Reporting Act (15 U.S.C. § 1681a(f)), the name of any noncustodial parent, of which the department or its Title IV-D contractors has a record, who is either current in payments of support or who is delinquent in the payment of support and the amount of the current obligation or arrears owed by such parent. Such information shall only be furnished to an entity that furnishes evidence to the department of human services that it meets the requirements to be defined as a consumer reporting agency pursuant to the Fair Credit Reporting Act.

(b) For purposes of this section, “delinquent” means any occasion on which the full amount of ordered support ordered for or on behalf of a minor child, or for a spouse or former spouse of the obligor with whom the child is living to the extent the spousal support would be included for the purposes of 42 U.S.C. § 654(4), is not paid by the due date for arrears as defined in § 36-5-101(f)(1) unless an income assignment is in effect and the payor of income is paying pursuant to § 36-5-501(g).

(c) Reports of delinquent support and the amount of the arrears shall be made only after the noncustodial parent has been notified of the intended action at the last record address required by §§ 36-5-101(c)(2)(B)(i), 36-5-805, 36-2-311, and 37-1-151(b)(4)(C)-(F) or such other address as may be known to the department, and the noncustodial parent is afforded an opportunity for an administrative hearing before the department to contest the accuracy of such information. The noncustodial parent shall file a written request for appeal of the intended actions as provided by part 10 of this chapter.
