Child Welfare Allocation Formula Factors

The bill removes certain data-gathering factors currently required to be taken into consideration in determining a fiscal year's child welfare allocation formula for counties and replaces those with a broader scope of factors that directly affect the population of children in need of child welfare services, as determined by the state department of human services and the child welfare allocations committee. (Note: This summary applies to the reengrossed version of this bill as introduced in the second house.)
