The Subcommittee on Human Services met this afternoon. Two bills were heard in committee.
House Bill 2027 changes how a child may be removed from a foster home. It reduces the period when a foster care arrangement can be terminated from 18 consecutive months to six months unless it is in the best interest of the child. The bill removes termination due to the child being united or reunited with a sibling(s).
House Bill 2542 mandates Child Protective Services to audio record interactions during visits and investigations.
Both moved to the markup stage.
