An Act amending the act of March 10, 1949 (P.L.30, No.14), known as the Public School Code of 1949, in preliminary provisions, establishing the Child Reunification Program in the Department of Education.
This bill amends the Public School Code of 1949 to establish a new Child Reunification Program within the Department of Education. The legislation specifically modifies the preliminary provisions of the existing act to create this program, which aims to support families in reuniting children with their parents or guardians. A minor technical change is also included, which removes the word "inkless" from the text. The bill does not detail the specific operational rules or funding for the program, focusing instead on its creation within the state's education framework.
