 3 laws of 2019 and subdivision 4 as added by chapter 222 of the laws of
 4 1994, are amended to read as follows:
 5 Temporary order of protection; temporary orders for child support and

 9 protection issued pursuant to this section, issue an order for temporary
 10 child support and/or temporary spousal support, in an amount sufficient
 11 to meet the needs of the child and/or spouse, without a showing of imme-

 22 child support pursuant to this subdivision, the court shall advise the
 23 petitioner of the availability of child support enforcement services by
 24 the support collection unit of the local department of social services,
 25 to enforce the temporary order and to assist in securing continued child

 3 Where the court determines that the respondent has employer-provided

 6 execution be issued and served upon the respondent's employer as
 7 provided for in section fifty-two hundred forty-one of the civil prac-
 8 tice law and rules.
