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 provisions that allow case managers to refer families with children aged two years or younger to evidence-based home visitation services and families with children aged three years or younger to early intervention services. These referrals aim to provide additional support to families in need, ensuring that the health and safety of juveniles remain a primary concern in case management.

Additionally, the bill eliminates a provision related to the applicability of the Family Home Visitation Act and repeals the original section 68-1212 as well as section 68-2306 of the Revised Statutes Supplement, 2025. This streamlining of legal language is intended to clarify the roles and responsibilities of case managers while ensuring that families receive appropriate services tailored to their children's developmental needs.
