      "title": "Connecting Fathers to Their Children: Fatherhood Legislation Considered in the 106th Congress",
      "summary": "In recognition of the negative long-term consequences for children associated with the absence\nof\ntheir father, federal, state and local initiatives to promote financial and personal responsibility of\nnoncustodial parents to their children are receiving more attention. The Clinton Administration's\nFY2001 budget included a couple of initiatives intended to help noncustodial parents who are unable\nto pay child support to get the support and skills they need to find work; these initiatives were not\npassed. In addition, several fatherhood bills ( H.R. 3073 ,  H.R. 4678 / H.R. 4469 ,  S. 1364 / H.R. 4671 , and  H.R. 1482 / S. 1317 ) were introduced in the 106th Congress.  H.R. 3073 , the\nFathers Count Act of 1999, was passed by the House on November 10, 1999;  H.R. 4678 , a bill that contains a similar fatherhood grant program, was passed by the House on September\n7, 2000. Although the fatherhood grant program was not passed, the Consolidated Appropriations\nAct for FY2001 ( P.L. 106-554 ) provides $500,000 for each of two specified fatherhood\norganizations and  P.L. 106-553  provides another $3 million for one of the aforementioned\nfatherhood organizations. This report will not be updated once the 107th Congress begins.Intr",
