A 7596 New York Assembly · 2025 Regular Session

Limits the number of cases a foster care worker may have under his or her supervision at any one time to 16 cases

This bill sets a maximum limit of 16 cases that any foster care worker can handle simultaneously. It directly affects foster care workers and their supervisory workload by legally restricting their caseload size. The key provision amends New York's social services law to state that no foster care worker may supervise more than 16 cases at any single time. This change aims to ensure workers have manageable workloads for child safety and case management. The law takes effect 60 days after enactment.
