Summary
Children's Services Act; parent representatives; community policy and management teams; family assessment and planning teams. Removes provisions that prohibit a parent representative from serving as a member of a community policy and management team (CPMT) or a family assessment and planning team (FAPT) if such parent representative is employed by a public or private program that receives funds pursuant to the law or agencies represented on a FAPT or CPMT and interacts directly on a regular and daily basis with children or supervises employees who interact directly on a regular basis with children; however, the bill directs prioritization of participation by parent representatives who are not employed by a public or private program that receives funds pursuant to the law or agencies represented on a FAPT or CPMT. The bill directs the State Executive Council for Children's Services to inventory current efforts to recruit and retain parent representatives on CPMTs and FAPTs and compile a list of best practices for including and elevating parent voices within CPMTs and FAPTs for distribution to local Children's Services Act programs. The bill requires the State Executive Council for Children's Services to provide a copy of this report to the Chairmen of the Senate Committee on Rehabilitation and Social Services and the House Committee on Health, Welfare and Institutions no later than November 1, 2022. This bill is identical to HB 427.

What changed in the latest version
78 added · 74 removedPlain-language change summary
The recent amendment to SB 435 updates the membership requirements for community policy and management teams that oversee children's services. The key change is the explicit inclusion of a parent representative on these teams, ensuring that parents have a voice in decisions impacting children's services. This matters because it enhances community involvement and ensures that the perspectives of families are considered in the planning and management of services for children and families. Additionally, the amendment safeguards the interests of children by specifying qualifications for these parent representatives, particularly concerning their professional roles.
