Summary

The bill sets up an assigned‑risk insurance plan that all commercial insurers must join to provide liability coverage for voluntary foster care agencies, and it creates a bridge fund to reimburse agencies when their premiums increase. It also directs the Office of Children and Family Services to set payment standards and allow agencies to request rate adjustments for higher insurance costs. The goal is to keep agencies financially able to meet required liability coverage.
