Relating to statewide prevention plan

SB 436 requires West Virginia's Department of Human Services (DoHS) to create and implement a statewide prevention plan by February 2027. The plan must provide trauma-informed, evidence-based preventive services to children under 18 and their families - including foster youth, pregnant and parenting teens, youth aging out of foster care, post-adoption youth, and families with economic or safety needs - ensuring accessible services through a mix of physical locations and telehealth. DoHS must track service outcomes, report annually to the legislature starting in 2027 (including county-level data and costs), and work to secure federal funding under the Family First Prevention Services Act. The bill directly affects DoHS operations and the delivery of child welfare prevention services across the state.
