Relating to the temporary payment to a kinship parent of a subsidy equal to that of a foster parent

Summary

The bill lets a kinship parent receive the same monthly payment as a foster parent for up to six months, provided they pass state and national criminal background checks and complete an initial home safety screening. The Department of Human Services must give the kinship parent a list of agencies that can help them become a certified foster parent. Payments start within 30 days of placement and stop if the caregiver does not become certified within the six‑month period.
