H.F. 3762 Summary

• County boards must immediately notify a child's resident district and serving district of any change in placement for care and treatment.

• Legal residence of a child with a disability placed in a foster facility is defined as the district where the child was a resident when specific conditions are met (parental rights terminated, parent/guardian out of state, no other residence established, or parent/guardian incarcerated or in halfway house).

• Once a child with a disability is placed in foster care (excluding foster care facilities for care and treatment), legal residence becomes the district where the child resides during the foster care placement.

• Similar provisions apply to children without disabilities placed in residential or foster facilities for care and treatment regarding legal residence and notification requirements.

• All amendments are effective July 1, 2024.
