Specifically, the department is required to develop a report to be submitted to the interim legislative committees responsible for human services by September 15, 2026. The report may include legislative recommendations for improving child welfare service delivery. The study and reporting mandate will automatically expire on January 2, 2027, which means the department has a defined timeframe to complete its research and submit its findings.
