Bill > SB1622

This bill requires the Commissioner of the Department of Children's Services to create and implement a statewide, county-level quality assurance program by July 1, 2027, which will monitor, evaluate, and provide feedback on the department's service delivery system using data to improve outcomes for children and families, focusing on safety, permanency, and well-being. The program will include quality assurance systems in each county, an office of quality assurance within the state department, and a state quality assurance committee, and will involve reviewing systemic factors, policies, and community partnerships. Additionally, the Commissioner must post a grading system on the department's website reflecting each county's quality assurance performance, updated at least every six months, and beginning in the fiscal year quarter ending September 30, 2026, must submit quarterly progress reports to the General Assembly until the program is fully implemented.
