HB 25-1086

HB 25-1086 updates an agreement called the "Interstate Compact on Placement of Children" that helps states work together when placing children from one state into foster care or adoption in another state. The bill ensures that the original agreement stays active until at least 35 states have approved the new version, which will then take its place. This affects how children are placed in foster care and adopted across different states. Since the bill has been signed, it is now law and the updated compact can proceed as planned once enough other states agree to it.
