AN ACT relating to child welfare.

Summary

The bill forces the Kentucky Cabinet for Health and Family Services to run criminal background checks on anyone applying to provide foster care, relative caregiver services, fictive kin placement, or adoption, and adds new training and reporting rules for kin placements. It also prevents approval of caregivers who have completed or attended sex‑offender treatment and requires consideration of disability‑related support. The goal is to strengthen child safety and oversight.
