Resolve for a foster care and child care liability insurance special commission
H 5024 establishes a 19-member commission to study foster care and child care liability insurance issues in Massachusetts. The commission, including representatives from foster/child care providers, insurers, state agencies, and advocacy groups, will examine insurance costs, availability barriers, and best practices nationwide. It must submit findings and recommendations by December 2026 to inform potential policy changes affecting providers. This procedural resolution creates a study body, not a direct policy change.
