Ohio has launched a new kind of crackdown on parents who are behind in their
child support payments. A new state law allows the Bureau of Motor Vehicles to
suspend the drivers license of child support deadbeats, and the first wave of
suspensions now totals 260. Statehouse correspondent Bill Cohen got details about
the crackdown, by interviewing a spokesman for the Ohio Department of Job and
Family Services, Jon Allen. |

| It was 1996 when Ohio legislators gave the green light for officials to suspend the drivers licenses of child support deadbeats. Jon Allen says it's taken more than 5 years to get all the counties onto the same child support computer system and to make sure it can talk to the computer system that's used by the Bureau of Motor Vehicles. |
