This bill amends the Child Placement Bill of Rights Act to enhance the rights of children placed in resource family care. Specifically, it introduces a new provision that grants these children the right to have conspicuous signage displayed in no less than three locations within their home. This signage is intended to provide contact information for children who may be experiencing abuse or who require mental health services, thereby ensuring that they have access to necessary support and resources.

Additionally, the bill removes the previous requirement for children to be free from unwarranted physical restraint and isolation, which is replaced with the new signage provision. The overall aim of this legislation is to improve the welfare and safety of children in resource family care by ensuring they have access to critical information that can assist them in times of need. The bill is set to take effect immediately upon passage.
