Requires the Department's case tracking system to monitor and provide data concerning families subject to safety plans, and mandates that safety plans must be reviewed every 5 business days to determine if the basis still exists.
-
Establishes specific requirements for safety plans, including: limited duration, specification of contact limitations, background checks for caregivers, least restrictive arrangement possible, and certification requirements before child placement.
-
Adds provisions allowing parents or guardians subject to a safety plan to request timely neutral review of the plan's basis or conditions, with the Department required to adopt rules ensuring review opportunities.
