The House Committee on Family, Children, and Human Affairs heard SB 128 sponsored by Rep. Sullivan on change of placement for child in need of services. DCS testified against the bill, stating that current law already requires DCS to file a motion in court for a change of placement and to provide their report to all affected parties, including the parents and foster parents. The author, Sen. Head explained that the bill adds a specific timeframe to that requirement.
The bill passed 13-0.
