AI Summary
This bill makes several technical changes to the social services law, primarily focusing on eliminating the requirement to conduct a study on the number of children in foster care with developmental disabilities. The bill amends existing language in Section 372 of the social services law, replacing gendered pronouns like "his or her" with more neutral terms such as "the child's" when describing record-keeping requirements for children. Additionally, the bill 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. The bill also modifies the effective date provision, changing the implementation timeline from "immediately" to "one year after it shall have become a law." The changes appear to be primarily technical in nature, streamlining language and removing previously planned studies and record-keeping requirements related to developmental disabilities in foster care.
