Plain-language change summary

The bill has been updated to require that all components of foster parent preservice training be available online, allowing individuals to complete this training as much as possible online. Previously, there was a requirement for some of the training to be completed in person. This change is significant because it makes it easier for potential foster parents to access training, potentially increasing the number of people willing to become foster parents and improving the support for children in care.
