Children in Unlicensed Settings and Pediatric Hospital Overstay Patients - Placement

Summary

The law prohibits any out‑of‑home placement of minors in unlicensed locations such as hotels, shelters, or office buildings, and sets new rules for how children are placed and reunited with families. It also creates a Child and Youth Placement Review Panel, an advisory council, and expands the duties of pediatric hospital overstay coordinators to track and report children who remain in hospitals after medical clearance. The changes aim to improve safety, accountability, and coordination for vulnerable children.
