Relates to collecting data regarding alternative living arrangements for children who are at a substantial risk of maltreatment

This bill requires the Office of Children and Family Services to collect and report detailed data on children placed in alternative living arrangements due to maltreatment risks. It defines these arrangements as temporary out-of-home placements made during investigations, respite care requests, or voluntary foster care situations. The law mandates that the agency track specific metrics, such as the number of children placed, their duration in care, and whether they were returned home or removed to court proceedings. Additionally, the office must publish an annual report on its website and share it with state leaders, with data broken down by demographics like age, race, and location where possible.
