What changed in the latest version
16 added · 17 removedPlain-language change summary
The key change in the bill SB 368 involves the deadline for submitting reports to the General Assembly. Originally, reports were due by May 1 of every year, but the amendment has changed this deadline to January 31 of the following calendar year. This shift is significant because it may allow the legislature to receive important information earlier, potentially leading to more timely decision-making regarding child welfare issues. Additionally, the confidentiality clause regarding child information remains unchanged, ensuring that sensitive data is still protected.
