Bill > HB06179

This bill proposes to increase the per-child foster care maintenance payment rate in Connecticut from its current level to $1,100 per month. Foster care maintenance payments are financial supports provided by the state to foster parents or guardians to help cover the costs of caring for children who have been removed from their biological homes due to safety concerns. The bill specifically amends Title 17a of the Connecticut General Statutes to implement this payment rate increase. By raising the monthly payment, the legislation aims to provide more financial support to foster families and potentially improve the resources available for children in the foster care system. The bill is straightforward in its approach, focusing solely on increasing the monthly payment without additional complex provisions or requirements.
