This bill amends section 68-1212 of the Revised Statutes Cumulative Supplement, 2024, to enhance the responsibilities of case managers within the Department of Health and Human Services. Specifically, it introduces a provision that allows case managers to refer families with a child two years of age or younger for evidence-based home visitation services, as outlined in the Family Home Visitation Act. This addition aims to support families in need by providing them with access to essential services that can improve child welfare and family stability.

Additionally, the bill repeals the original section 68-1212, indicating a complete update to the existing legal framework governing case management for juveniles in the care of the department. The focus remains on ensuring the health and safety of juveniles while expanding the resources available to families through targeted home visitation services.
