Relating to necessity allowance

Summary

The bill sets a statewide standard that any child removed from their home and placed in out‑of‑home care must receive an initial allowance to purchase an adequate wardrobe and approved necessities. Placement providers must inventory the child's items, request the allowance, and can receive funds via a reloadable card, a purchasing card, or reimbursement. This aims to ensure children have appropriate clothing and basic supplies throughout their placement.
