Requires the children's division to ensure that case workers have no more than twenty active cases

HB 1837 limits Missouri's child welfare case workers to no more than twenty active cases at any time. This directly affects case workers and the children and families they serve by capping their caseloads to improve service quality and timeliness. The bill requires the Children's Division to track and report monthly on caseloads and other service metrics, and to establish a team to evaluate compliance. It is part of Missouri's policy to prioritize child safety and welfare in foster care and protection systems.
