AI Summary

This bill extends the Interdisciplinary Parental Representation Pilot Program, which aims to improve legal representation for parents in child welfare cases by adding a "parental representation liaison" to their legal team, from its original repeal date of December 31, 2026, to December 31, 2031. Additionally, it introduces a new provision that prevents individuals employed by the Division of Child and Family Services from being hired by, contracting with, or providing compensated services for the pilot program for one year after their employment with the division ends. The bill also updates a reporting deadline for the program's progress from October 1, 2023, to October 1, 2026, and sets an effective date of May 6, 2026.
