A communication from the Massachusetts Department of Children and Families (see Section 6A of Chapter 18B of the General Laws) submitting a report entitled: “Foster Care Review Report FY2024”

This bill (HD 4967) is a procedural communication from Massachusetts' Department of Children and Families (DCF) submitting its FY2024 Foster Care Review Report. It does not create new laws but requires DCF to formally submit this annual report detailing how foster care reviews were conducted during fiscal year 2024. The report references existing policies (M.G.L. c. 18B, § 6A; 110 CMR 6.00) that govern foster care reviews, including requirements for timely reviews and continued support for youth until age 22. The submission process follows standard procedures, with no new policy changes or direct impacts beyond DCF's reporting obligations.
