A bill for an act relating to child placements.

Removed handwritten signatures, dates, and graphical artifacts from the Governor's signature page.

Added a clean title page with the bill number and subject.

Replaced handwritten certification text with typed text and blank signature lines.

Corrected spelling errors in the Governor's name (e.g., 'Sincerfiy' to 'Sincerely', 'Kii^^ynolds' to 'Kim Reynolds').

Requires the department to exercise due diligence in identifying and notifying a specific list of relatives (grandparents, aunts, uncles, adult siblings, and parents of siblings) when a child is removed from parental custody.

Mandates the department to employ dedicated staff at its central office solely for the purpose of fulfilling the new notification requirements.

Modifies court placement rules to prohibit placing a child with a different licensed foster parent if the child has already been placed with a licensed foster parent for at least nine months, unless the court makes specific findings that the change is in the child's best interests.
