House concurrent resolution recognizing May 2026 as National Foster Care Month in Vermont

This bill asks the Vermont General Assembly to officially recognize May 2026 as National Foster Care Month within the state. It does not create new laws or change how foster care is administered, but rather serves to honor the work of foster families and raise awareness about the foster care system. The resolution directs the Secretary of State to send a copy of the document to the Department for Children and Families.
