An Act requiring the documentation of child counsel appointments
This bill requires child counsel (legal representatives for children in state custody) to meet with their clients quarterly and provide official documentation of these meetings. The documentation must be approved by relevant parties like social workers, foster parents, or guardians before the counsel can receive payment for the meetings. It directly affects child counsel, the state department managing child custody, and those involved in the child's care. The key change is creating a mandatory documentation process to verify quarterly meetings, tied to payment approval.
