HB 1731 (MIZGORSKI): Directs the Joint State Government Commission to establish the Pennsylvania Advisory Committee on Greater Father Involvement within the Commission.
HB 1866 (BOBACK): Amends Title 42 (Judiciary) and Title 67 (Public Welfare) of Pennsylvania Consolidated Statutes to enhance permanency planning and improve outcomes for older youth in the foster care system. The bill clarifies the expectations that services, including counseling, must meet. The goal is to ensure that these services are effective in the development and support of permanency goals for youth in the system. It codifies practices from various statutory and court procedural sources to update and improve the foster system, particularly for older youths. It also makes editorial and organizational changes to Title 67.
HB 2214 (KLUNK): Adds a new section to Title 67 (Public Welfare) of Pennsylvania Consolidated Statutes that renders unenforceable certain indemnification clauses in government contracts between county children and youth agencies and entities that provide children and youth services regulated under Title 55, Part V of the Pennsylvania Code.
