Authorizes a court to direct the person, as a special condition of a contempt order, into job search or dually specific education training.

Caps enrollment in work-specific training at six months and requires the person to comply with the following: payment of at least $50 monthly for child support; notify the court upon completing the training; and notify the court within 14 days of failing to satisfy the attendance requirements of the training.
