Bill overview
This bill aims to improve the process of transitioning foster youth between placements and from foster care to reunification. It requires counties to develop and implement placement transition planning policies that prioritize the child’s input and provide guidance to social workers. The state Department of Social Services will offer best practices for this planning, and counties must submit their policies for review. The bill also addresses the need for trauma-informed care during these transitions and ensures appropriate planning when a child’s placement cannot be preserved.
