House Bill No. 6901, titled "An Act Concerning Children's Welfare," mandates that the Commissioner of Children and Families conduct a study to evaluate potential policy and procedural changes within the Department of Children and Families that could enhance the welfare of children under the commissioner's care and custody. The findings from this study are required to be reported to the relevant joint standing committee of the General Assembly by January 1, 2026. This new requirement is introduced as a new section in the law, marked by the insertion of "Section 1 from passage New section."

The bill does not impose any fiscal impact on the state or municipalities, as it is expected that the Department of Children and Families can carry out the study within its existing budgetary resources. There are no deletions from current law noted in the text of the bill. The Committee on Children has reported favorably on the bill, indicating a majority support for its passage.
