LB 1213 Legislature · 109th Legislature (2025-2026)

Adopt the Case Management Licensure Act

This bill requires all individuals working in Nebraska's child welfare system - including social workers, investigators, and supervisors - to obtain and maintain a state license for case management. The Foster Care Review Office will oversee licensing, handle complaints about misconduct (like falsifying records), and impose disciplinary actions such as license suspension or revocation for violations. It aims to improve child welfare outcomes by promoting professionalism, reducing inefficiencies that risk federal funding, and ensuring accountability in investigations and foster care placements.
