The General Assembly Raised Bill No. 5272 mandates the Commissioner of Children and Families to conduct a study aimed at identifying potential policy and procedural changes within the Department of Children and Families that could enhance the health 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, 2027.

This bill introduces new legal language, specifically stating that the study will be conducted and reported as outlined in Section 1, which is effective from the date of passage. There are no deletions from current law in this bill, as it primarily establishes new requirements for the commissioner. The intent of the bill is to improve the health outcomes for children in state custody through informed policy adjustments.
