What’s in it

This bill provides for a study committee to determine best practices for the placement of juveniles with histories of violent or sexually predatory behavior in foster care. The bill directs the department of human services to convene a study committee regarding best practices for the placement of juveniles in foster care with histories of violent or sexually predatory behavior in order to reduce the risks posed to other juveniles in foster care. The department shall include a minimum of four stakeholders consisting of a representative from the department of human services, a juvenile court judge, a representative from the county attorneys association, and a representative from a private foster care agency.

Read the full explanation

The bill requires the study committee to consider alternatives to foster care facility placements; the social, financial, and welfare services currently available; and alternative services that should be developed to reduce the risk juveniles with a history of violent or sexually predatory behavior pose to juveniles without histories of violent or sexually predatory behavior in foster care. The bill requires the study committee to submit a report detailing its findings and making recommendations to the governor and the general assembly by December 15, 2021.
