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. The health and safety of the juvenile remains the primary concern in all case management decisions.

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 from the Revised Statutes Supplement, 2025. These changes aim to streamline the process of providing support services to families in need, ensuring that appropriate interventions are made for young children and their families.
