2. Contractor Certification of Compliance, part 1

WHEREAS it is in the best interest of Sacramento County that those entities with whom the County does business demonstrate financial responsiblity, integrity, and lawfulness, it is inequitable for those entities with whom the County does business to recieve County funds while failing to pay court-ordered child, family, and spousal support which shifts the support of their dependents onto the public treasury.

Therefore, in order to assist the Sacramento County Department of Child Support Services in its efforts to collect unpaid court-ordered child, family, and spousal support orders, the following certification must be provided by all entities with whom the County does business:

Contractor/Consultant hereby certifies that either:

the Contractor/Consultant is a government or non-profit entity (exempt); or
the Contractor/Consultant has no Principal Owners (25% of more) (exempt); or
each Principal Owner (25% or more) does not have any existing child support orders; or
the Contractor/Consultant's Principal Owners are currently in substantial compliance with any court-ordered child, family, and spousal support order, including orders to provide current residence address, employment information, and whether dependent health insurance coverage is available. If not in compliance, Principal Owner has become current or has arranged a payment schedule with the Department of Child Support Services or the court.
