Foster care: placement.
Summary
Existing law requires siblings to be assigned to the same social worker when there is a prospective adoptive family that intends to adopt the children as a sibling group, except as specified. This bill would make a technical, nonsubstantive change to that provision.

MINOR
No substantive changes to the bill text. The diff reflects only a change in document format, from a plain-text legislative document to a web page rendering of the same bill on the California legislature website. The actual statutory language amending Section 16005 of the Welfare and Institutions Code is identical in both versions.
TECHNICAL
The document was reformatted from a plain-text legislative layout (with line numbers) to an HTML web page scrape that includes navigation menus, search bars, and website chrome. No changes to the bill's substantive content.
