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 that could enhance the welfare of children under the department's care and custody. The findings from this study are required to be reported to the joint standing committee of the General Assembly responsible for children's matters by January 1, 2026. The bill introduces new legal language that establishes this requirement as a new section, effective upon passage.

The fiscal impact of the bill is assessed to be negligible, 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 bill, and it has received a favorable report from the Committee on Children, indicating support for its passage.
