What’s in it

This bill relates to the payment for the costs of preplacement and postplacement investigations relating to an adoption which may be conducted by the department of health and human services (HHS), a child-placing agency, or a certified adoption investigator. The bill establishes that HHS is responsible for payment of the costs of these preplacement and postplacement investigations. The department is directed to adopt administrative rules to establish the cap on the costs to be reimbursed for such investigations.
