Out-of-home placement plan requirements modified to include early childhood education and child care programs, and agencies and guardians ad litem required to provide information on early childhood education and child care programs for children in foster care.

HF 3665 modifies Minnesota's foster care placement plans to require agencies and guardians ad litem to include information about early childhood education and child care programs for children in foster care. This applies to children subject to compulsory school attendance who are enrolled in school, receiving home instruction, or in independent study programs. The bill amends Minnesota Statutes 260C.212 to add this requirement, ensuring placement plans address educational stability and access to early learning resources. It directly affects children in foster care, foster care agencies, and legal representatives by mandating this new information be included in their case planning.
