Provide for referrals for home visitation services and for early intervention services and eliminate a provision relating to the applicability of the Family Home Visitation Act
LB 903 requires case managers in Nebraska's Department of Health and Human Services to refer families with children under two years old to evidence-based home visitation services when appropriate. This applies to families involved in child welfare cases where a juvenile is under the department's care (either court-ordered or voluntary) or in non-court cases. The bill amends existing law to mandate this referral process, which connects families to existing home visitation programs designed to support early childhood development and family well-being.
