Child Placement Amendments

The "Child Placement Amendments" bill aims to improve the placement process for children in foster care by prioritizing family-based settings over group homes or institutions. It emphasizes the well-being and stability of children by promoting timely permanency planning and support services for families.

Overall, the bill seeks to strengthen family-based care options and streamline processes to provide a more nurturing and stable environment for vulnerable children in foster care.
