This bill proposes amendments to the job titles of certain positions within the Department of Health and Human Services. Specifically, it changes the titles of staff attorneys and supervising staff attorneys to include the term "counsel" instead of "council," reflecting a more accurate designation of their roles. The revised titles are: "Department of Health and Human Services staff attorney, division for children, youth and families, bureau of general counsel," and "Department of Health and Human Services lead attorney, division for children, youth, and families, bureau of general counsel." Additionally, the title of "supervising regional attorney" is also updated to include "counsel."

Furthermore, the bill repeals the prospective repeal of the phase-in schedule for the appointment of counsel, ensuring that this process remains in effect. The changes are requested by the Department of Health and Human Services and are intended to clarify the roles and responsibilities of the legal staff within the department. The bill will take effect immediately upon passage.
