Bill Summary

A BILL FOR AN ACT relating to public assistance; to amend section 68-1212, Revised Statutes Cumulative Supplement, 2024; to provide for a referral for home visitation services for certain families by case managers as prescribed; and to repeal the original section.

AI Summary

This bill amends existing law to require case managers, who are employees of the Department of Health and Human Services responsible for overseeing children and families in their care, to refer families with a child two years of age or younger for evidence-based home visitation services when appropriate, as outlined in the Family Home Visitation Act. Home visitation services are a type of support program designed to help families, particularly those with young children, by providing guidance and resources in their own homes. This change aims to enhance the support provided to vulnerable families by connecting them with these preventative services.
