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 adequately meet the needs of the children in their care. The bill reflects a commitment to improving the foster care system and supporting the well-being of children placed in foster homes.
