FREE CONFERENCE COMMITTEE AMENDMENTS TO H.B. 2703
(Reference to Senate engrossed House bill)
Page 19, strike lines 8 through 16, insert:
"The legislature recognizes that legislation is being developed for a successor agency for child protective services that is separate from the department of economic security. Since that task is not complete, this budget has been adopted without knowing the scope, department needs and funding requirements for the successor agency that are necessary to protect the safety of the children in this state. It is the intent of the legislature to reexamine the budget in conjunction with the legislation that will create a successor agency, in order to meet the needs of that successor agency. The needs include staffing, automation, support services, placement, early intervention services and any needs deemed essential for the successor agency services and the safety of children in this state."
