CHILDREN: Provides with respect to children in need of care

Added pregnancy as a specific ground for determining a child is in need of care, but only for children who are twelve years of age or younger.

Established eligibility for pregnant children seventeen and under to receive state services, including medical coordination, counseling, and case management.

Mandated that the pregnancy of any child fourteen years of age or younger must be reported to the Department of Children and Family Services.

Updated the bill's title and section references to reflect the new Article 606(A)(6) regarding pregnancy grounds and the addition of Article 603.2 regarding service eligibility.

The bill was finalized for signature, changing its status from 'Engrossed' to 'Enrolled' and reducing the document length by removing the explanatory digest.

The list of bill sponsors was updated to include Representatives Berault, Carver, and Mandie Landry in addition to Representative McMakin.
