Bill overview
This bill limits the number of children a caseworker in Nevada’s child welfare agencies can be responsible for, aiming to improve the level of care provided to each child. Specifically, caseworkers assigned to permanency services can only manage a maximum of 30 children in custody at a time, with exceptions for siblings and temporary emergency assignments. The bill also clarifies procedures for returning children to their natural homes and defines ‘permanency services’ as efforts to ensure a child’s safety and well-being, including assessing needs and pursuing permanent placements.
