Establishes the "Office of State Oversight for Residential Care Facilities"

This bill creates a new Office of State Oversight for Residential Care Facilities within the Department of Social Services to monitor the safety and welfare of children in these homes. The office will be led by a governor-appointed director who is barred from having ties to any residential care facility and will conduct annual inspections, investigate complaints, and publicly report findings on issues like food quality, staff conduct, and living conditions. Facilities must submit corrective action plans within thirty days of receiving an inspection report, and the office has broad authority to access records, interview children privately, and review specific incidents such as assaults or deaths.
