Bill Summary

CONCERNING INCREASING SUPPORT FOR KINSHIP FOSTER CARE HOMES, AND, IN CONNECTION THEREWITH, MAKING AN APPROPRIATION.

AI Summary

This bill aims to increase support for kinship foster care homes in Colorado. The key provisions include: 1. Requiring courts to advise relatives or kin about the differences between kinship foster care and non-certified kinship care when transferring temporary legal custody, including financial assistance, custody requirements, and long-term support options. 2. Allowing the state department to modify training requirements for kinship foster care homes and establish a provisional certification process. 3. Providing financial assistance and supports for kinship foster care homes at the same rate as foster care homes, and non-certified kinship care homes at 30% of the foster care rate initially, increasing to 50% in 2026-27. 4. Requiring the state department to collect data on children placed with certified and non-certified kin and report on the implementation of non-certified kinship care. 5. Appropriating funds from the Colorado Long-Term Works Reserve and other sources to support the increased assistance and services for kinship foster care homes.
