supporting the cultural background of children placed in foster care.

Summary

The bill directs the Department of Health and Human Services to factor a child’s cultural heritage into foster‑care placements, require foster parents to complete cultural‑sensitivity training, and assign a cultural advocate to children placed in a “cultural foster care” setting. It also creates a non‑lapsing fund to cover related costs and adds a right for children to live in an environment that reflects their cultural background. The measure was introduced in the New Hampshire House, failed to pass, and was recommended for future legislation.
