SB 557 Child welfare.

Introduced by: Jane H. Woods | all patrons    ...    notes | add to my profiles

SUMMARY:

Child welfare. Allows local boards of social services and licensed child placing agencies to accept children for placement in a foster home, group home or residential facility through a placement agreement with parents or guardians which will provide that legal custody remains with the parents or guardians. Under current law families have to give up custody of their children to receive out-of-home services such as foster care. The agreement between the agency and the parent or guardian will state the respective responsibilities of the parties for the care and control of the child. Local boards are authorized to accept and expend funds on the child's behalf. The bill reflects changes to the child welfare system that have occurred as the result of the Comprehensive Services Act.
