Relating To Child Welfare Services.

Abstract

Expands the investigative power of the Department of Human Services to include: children who have been adopted or have been placed in legal guardianship, whose adoptive families or legal guardians are receiving federal or state financial assistance; and children in the foster care system for whom there is a pending petition for adoption or for whom an adoption decree has been issued but the children have not yet been placed in the custody of the adoption petitioner. Requires the Department of Human Services to submit a report to the Legislature on the impact of expanding home visits to families receiving adoption assistance or legal guardianship assistance before the convening of the Regular Session of 2027. Establishes a two-year Crisis Mobile Outreach Team Pilot Program within the Department of Health to expand and support existing crisis response services and programs for at-risk youth. Requires the Department of Health's Child and Adolescent Mental Health Division to submit a report to the Legislature on its findings and recommendations arising from the pilot program before the Regular Session of 2024. Appropriates funds to the Department of Health and the Department of Human Services. Repeals the pilot program on 6/30/2024. Effective 12/31/2050. (SD2)
