Summary

SB 1042 would spend $250,000 each year starting in FY 2026‑27 to build a secure web and mobile communications system for child‑welfare cases, improving notifications and attorney‑client communication. It also reallocates $104 million of lottery revenue annually to fund gambling‑addiction programs, child‑welfare and foster‑care services, and child‑care subsidies, and requires the health department to develop a statewide child‑care subsidy floor plan. The bill targets children in foster care, families using child‑care, and the courts and agencies that serve them.
