Foster youth: trauma-informed services.

Summary

The bill would mandate each county to develop a memorandum of understanding among child‑welfare, probation, behavioral health, education and other agencies to deliver coordinated, trauma‑informed services to foster children who have experienced severe trauma. Counties must submit a detailed plan to the State Department of Social Services by January 1 2027 and update it every two years, including how they will expand short‑term residential therapeutic slots. The measure also sets confidentiality rules, requires state‑level tracking of de‑identified data, and limits state reimbursement to costs expressly funded by the state.
