The proposed bill, General Assembly Proposed Bill No. 6179, aims to amend title 17a of the general statutes to increase the per-child foster care maintenance payment rate. The new payment rate will be set at one thousand one hundred dollars per month, providing additional financial support for foster care providers.
This legislative change is intended to enhance the resources available to foster families, ensuring that they can better meet the needs of the children in their care. The bill does not specify any deletions from current law, focusing solely on the insertion of the new payment rate.
