    AI summary This amendment replaces the entire bill and changes how training is determined for new foster parents. Instead of a set number of hours, the department will decide how much training is needed by looking at a person's past experience and the specific needs of the child. It also adds a rule that active-duty military members are considered to have met their annual training requirements if they are unable to complete them.
