COMMITTEE ACTION:
SSB 3066 – DHS services for children and families
SSB 3066 is a Department of Human Services (DHS) bill that makes changes to programs and services for children and families, including child care assistance, child and family services, foster care, adoption, and dependent adult abuse.
The bill has four divisions:
- Division 1 allows a family with a permanently disabled parent access to child care assistance so that the other parent in the home can be employed or pursue an education or training programs. Current law allows this only for temporary disabilities.
- Division 2 increases the upper age for foster care from 18 to 21.
- Division 3 makes it easier for adult adoptees, who were adopted after a termination of parental rights, to get access to their case files, health records and sibling information.
- Division 4 allows DHS to share more information with financial institutions when a dependent adult abuse investigation involves financial exploitation.
