SB 197 (Ducheny) – Child Care for Foster Care
This bill would transfer a child care certificate with a foster child
when a change in placement is made, as long as the need is demonstrated
per current law. The proposed action will allow subsidized child care
slot to transfer when the foster child is placed in a new home,
expediting placement and reducing the amount of time it takes for a new
foster family to obtain childcare.
