Children in Unlicensed Settings and Pediatric Hospital Overstay Patients - Placement

Summary

The bill prohibits any child under 22 from being placed in a hotel, shelter, office building or other unlicensed setting as part of the state’s out‑of‑home placement program. It creates a Child and Youth Placement Review Panel headed by a Placement Manager, a rapid‑response placement team for pediatric hospital overstay patients, and advisory and interagency councils to coordinate services. The changes aim to improve safety, health care and permanency planning for vulnerable children.
