Senate Bill No. 1272 mandates the Commissioner of Children and Families to conduct a study evaluating the efficacy of programs administered by the Department of Children and Families. The findings from this study must be reported to the joint standing committee of the General Assembly that oversees children's matters by January 1, 2026. The bill is effective upon passage and introduces a new section to current law, specifically noted as Section 1 from passage New section.
