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 section is inserted into current law as Section 1, effective from the date of passage.

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 and reporting within its existing budgetary resources. There are no deletions from current law noted in this bill, and it has received a favorable report from the Committee on Children.
