This bill amends and reenacts specific sections of Louisiana law regarding the Children's Cabinet Advisory Board and the Council on the Status of Grandparents Raising Grandchildren. Key changes include the replacement of a representative from the Louisiana Maternal and Child Health Coalition with the superintendent of the Louisiana State Police or their designee on the advisory board. Additionally, a representative of the Family Road of Greater Baton Rouge is added to the board's membership, and the representative of the Louisiana Association of Childcare Agencies is changed to a representative of the Child Care Association of Louisiana.
For the Council on the Status of Grandparents Raising Grandchildren, the bill reduces the number of members representing the Department of Children and Family Services from three to one, who will now also represent the foster care program. Furthermore, a member representing the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program is added, while the previous representative from LouisianaChildren.org is removed. A new member representing the Kinship Care Subsidy Program is also included, ensuring a broader representation of programs that support families and children in Louisiana.
