AI Summary
This bill seeks to eliminate disproportionality and inequities for at-risk children in Massachusetts. It requires the state's Child Advocate to produce an annual report analyzing data on the involvement of children from various demographic groups in child-serving state entities, such as the Department of Children and Families and the Department of Youth Services. The report will identify any disparities in outcomes and provide recommendations for addressing them, including through staff training, early intervention programs, and policy changes. The bill also requires each child-serving entity to develop a corrective action plan based on the report's findings. Overall, the goal is to ensure equitable access and treatment for all children involved with the state's social services systems.
