Healthcare (Children)

This joint resolution, S 596, approves specific regulations (Document Number 5315) from the Department of Social Services. These regulations concern supplemental benefits for adoption and medical assistance. The bill aims to support adoption laws by making public supplemental benefits available for children certified by the Department of Social Services as needing assistance to ensure their adoption. It also seeks to amend existing regulations to promote compliance with statutory authority and further the well-being of children in the state's foster care system.
