AI Summary
This bill makes technical changes to the social services law, primarily focusing on language modifications in record-keeping for children in foster care and eliminating a previously proposed requirement to conduct a study on children with developmental disabilities. Specifically, the bill updates terminology in existing law, replacing gender-specific pronouns like "his or her" with more neutral phrases like "the child's" when describing record-keeping details about foster children. The bill also repeals sections 2, 3, 4, and 5 of a previous chapter of laws that would have mandated maintaining records about children's developmental disabilities and conducting a related study. Additionally, the bill adjusts the effective date of the law, changing it from immediate implementation to taking effect one year after becoming law. The modifications appear to be primarily technical in nature, aimed at clarifying language and streamlining administrative requirements without substantively changing the underlying policy regarding foster care record-keeping.
