Social Work Day at the Legislature Bills and Lobbying Topics This year’s Social Work Day at the Legislature includes priorities around behavioral health, child welfare, and budget items. The bills surrounding these items are fluid and we will have our final bill list the day of the event. By limiting our discussion to just a few bills or topics, we will be able to speak in a unified voice!

Child Welfare Reform

SB1046: foster homes; child welfare agencies: If a foster home, at renewal, has not had any licensing action or corrective action plan within the past 2 years, renewal license is valid until the foster home voluntarily closes, DCS revokes or suspends or a licensing action or corrective action plan is instituted.

SB1071: adoption; subsidy; review; nonrecurring expenses: Adoption subsidy reviews are to be periodically reviewed DCS. The maximum amount of nonrecurring adoption expenses DCS will pay is NASWAZ 2018 Legislative Priorities Page 2 $2,000 for each adoption petition. Unless DCS finds good cause exists, the agency is prohibited from paying nonrecurring adoption expenses for a child & all siblings or half-siblings who are adopted by the same parent or parents & whose parental rights were terminated within 60 days of each other, unless the child and all the siblings or half-siblings are on the same adoption petition.

SB1072: DCS; contractor employees; fingerprint requirement: Requirement for a valid fingerprint clearance card applies to an employee of a contractor or subcontractor who is employed in an information technology position and who will have access to DCS information.

SB1148: kinship foster care; stipend: A kinship foster care parent who does not receive financial services (full foster care benefits or TANF) for a child is eligible to receive a stipend of $150 per month for the child if the child has been placed with the kinship foster care parent for at least one year & the kinship foster care parent's income does not exceed 200% FPL

SB1166: permanent guardianship; subsidy: Permanent guardians who are appointed for a child are authorized to apply to the DCS to have the adoption of a child subsidized

Ease of licensure through Board of Behavioral Health Examiners

SB1246 behavioral health board: Makes changes relating to the Board of Behavioral Health Examiners. Board required to establish fees by rule. Various notices are no longer required in writing. Modifies requirements for licensure by endorsement for a person who is licensed or certified in one or more other states or federal jurisdictions.

SB1184 state compact; temporary professional licenses: Enacts an interstate compact for the temporary licensure of professionals to allow member states to expediently grant a temporary license to eligible licensees moving to their state & increase the mobility of professional license. Establishes requirements for a temporary license application. Member states are required to provide another member state with specified information on a licensee within 10 days after request. Temporary licenses are valid for 18 months & are nonrenewable. Also provides for withdrawal from the compact.

HB2197 health professionals; workforce data: Beginning in each health professional regulatory board is required to collect from applicants for initial or renewal licensure, certification or registration the "designated database information" to be prescribed in rule by the Director of DHS. Personally identifiable information collected under this requirement is confidential and not subject to public records laws.

HB 2406: behavioral health board; regulation; repeal: Repeals statutes requiring behavioral health professionals to be licensed and establishing regulations for behavioral health profession licensees, including the Board of Behavioral Health Examiners.
