• S-5119Strike everything · filed April 6, 2022 by Sen. Jeff Edler (R), Sen. Mark Costello (R)

  AI summary This amendment replaces the entire bill and adds a definition for "fictive kin" as an adult who is not a relative but has a significant emotional relationship with a child or their family. It also requires state departments to create annual written protocols for managing children under the state board and changes how foster care placement information and permanency plans are reported. Additionally, it updates the duties of the state board to focus on the court appointed special advocate program and local boards rather than the previous foster care review system. Its wording →
