Bill > HB246

This bill modifies the composition of the Children's Cabinet Advisory Board and the Council on the Status of Grandparents Raising Grandchildren by making several changes to who serves on these bodies. Specifically, it removes a representative from the Louisiana Maternal and Child Health Coalition and adds the superintendent of the Louisiana State Police or their designee to the Children's Cabinet Advisory Board. For the Council on the Status of Grandparents Raising Grandchildren, the bill reduces the number of representatives from the Department of Children and Family Services from three to one, while clarifying that this single representative will be from the foster care program. It also replaces a representative from LouisianaChildren.org with a representative from the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP), which provides food assistance, and adds a new member representing the Kinship Care Subsidy Program, which offers financial support to relatives raising children. Additionally, the bill repeals two existing provisions related to the Children's Cabinet Advisory Board, though the specific content of those repealed provisions is not detailed in the provided text.
