Relates to liability insurance for voluntary foster care agencies
What changed between versions
The bill header was updated to include additional sponsors and to reflect that the committee has discharged the bill, amended it, and recommitted it for further action.
Minor formatting changes were made to the line numbering and page headers to align with standard legislative markup conventions.
The requirement for the Office of Children and Family Services to establish payment standards was changed from mandatory ('shall') to permissive ('may include a process'), giving the agency discretion on how to handle liability insurance cost increases.
The establishment of the insurance bridge fund and the process for distributing its moneys was made conditional, explicitly stating it is subject to funds being appropriated and the availability of state financial assistance.
