5 | (11)(a) It is the responsibility of the appropriate state |
6 | agency and of the judicial branch to identify to the division, |
7 | in the form and format prescribed by the division, persons owing |
8 | an outstanding debt to any state agency, including, but not |
9 | limited to, child support collected through a court, including |
10 | spousal support or alimony for the spouse or former spouse of |
11 | the obligor if the child support obligation is being enforced by |
12 | the Department of Revenue, overpayments of unemployment |
13 | compensation benefits, overpayment for food stamps or other |
14 | entitlements, taxes, liens, judgments, or other payments. Any |
15 | slot machine prize of $600 or more to any person having such an |
16 | outstanding obligation shall be forwarded by the slot machine |
17 | licensee to the division for distribution to the agency claiming |
18 | the debt. The division is authorized to issue payment of the |
19 | prize balance to the prize winner after deduction of the debt. |
20 | If a prize winner owes multiple debts subject to offset under |
21 | this subsection and the prize amount is insufficient to cover |
22 | all such debts, the amount of the prize shall be transmitted |
23 | first to the agency claiming that past due child support is |
24 | owed. If a balance of prize amount remains after payment of past |
25 | due child support, the balance shall be transmitted to other |
26 | agencies claiming debts owed to the state, pro rata, based upon |
27 | the ratio of the individual debt to the remaining debt owed to |
28 | the state. |
29 | (b) It is the responsibility of the slot machine licensee |
30 | to ensure that the facilities-based computer system that the |
31 | licensee uses for operational and accounting functions is |
32 | specifically configured to ensure the requirements of this |
33 | subsection are met. |
34 | (c) It is the responsibility of the division to identify |
35 | those persons specified under paragraph (a) as having such |
36 | outstanding obligations and make any transmittals or payments as |
37 | necessary. |
38 | (d) The division may adopt rules pursuant to ss. |
39 | 120.536(1) and 120.54 to implement the provisions of this |
40 | subsection, including the technical requirements of the |
41 | facilities-based computer system. |
