Bill > SB1109

This bill makes technical, nonsubstantive changes to existing law regarding foster care policy development. Specifically, it amends Section 16001.7 of the Welfare and Institutions Code to clarify language related to the State Department of Social Services' role in promoting the participation of current and former foster youth in shaping state foster care and child welfare policy. The bill also refines the wording concerning the department's contract with California Youth Connection, an organization that provides technical assistance and outreach to foster youth, ensuring that the language used is consistent and grammatically correct, for example, changing "are not limited to" to "be not limited to" and "ages of 14 and 21 years" to "14 and 21 years of age." These changes are intended to improve the clarity and precision of the existing law without altering its fundamental purpose or the responsibilities of the involved parties.
