S 6753: Limits the number of cases a foster care worker may have under their supervision at any one time to 16 cases; directs the office of children and family services to promulgate regulations relating to caseload standards for foster care workers.
What S 6753 does, verified May 20, 2026
The bill aims to limit the number of foster care cases assigned to a single foster care worker. This limitation is intended to ensure that foster care workers can manage their caseload effectively, taking into account the complexity of the cases and the worker's current workload. The regulations will also consider the assignment of cases, ensuring that workers are not overwhelmed and can provide adequate care to the children in their care. The bill also allows local social services districts to establish their own caseload standards, which may be less than the minimum requirements. The regulations will be promulgated in consultation with local social services districts and will take effect after a 60-day period.
