LR 304 Legislature · 109th Legislature (2025-2026)

Designate the Legislative Oversight Committee to review, investigate, and assess the effect of child welfare efficiency practices on child safety, quality of services provided by the Department of Health and Human Services, and public and private workforce stability

This is a legislative resolution (not a bill) designating Nebraska's Legislative Oversight Committee to review child welfare efficiency practices. The committee will investigate how these practices affect child safety, service quality from the Department of Health and Human Services (specifically its Children and Family Services division), and workforce stability. The committee must issue a report by December 1, 2026, covering topics like federal compliance, staffing impacts, service continuity, and the effectiveness of past consultant recommendations. It does not create new laws but directs an existing committee to assess current practices.
