    Amends GS 50-13.4(f)(9), which authorizes contempt proceedings to enforce orders or judgements for periodic payments of child support. Authorizes a court to direct the person, as a special condition of a contempt order, into job search or dually specific education training. Requires the court exercising this option to review the person's progress in at least 30-day intervals unless the person is enrolled and actively participating in work-specific training. Caps enrollment in work-specific training at six months and requires the person to comply with the following: (1) 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.
