Bill overview
This bill creates a program to provide disaster aid to foster children, youth, and their caregivers in California. It establishes a dedicated fund, the Child Welfare Disaster Response Account, which would be used to cover immediate needs like housing, clothing, and transportation following a local or state emergency. County child welfare agencies, probation departments, and Indian tribes can apply for funds to support those affected by disasters, ensuring they receive assistance within 180 days of a declared emergency.
