Bill > SB0437

This bill amends the Foster Care and Adoption Services Act to replace references to the "children's ombudsman" with the "child advocate." The bill also outlines the "foster parent's bill of rights," which ensures that foster parents are treated with dignity and have access to necessary information, training, and support. Additionally, the bill establishes the "children's assurance of quality foster care policy," which guarantees certain rights and services for children in foster care, and provides a grievance procedure for foster parents and children to address any noncompliance. This bill is tied to Senate Bill 432.
