AB 2236, as introduced, Stone. Aid to Families with Dependent Children-Foster Care.
Existing law establishes the Aid to Families with Dependent Children-Foster Care (AFDC-FC) program, under which counties provide payments to foster care providers on behalf of qualified children in foster care. Existing law requires a child to receive certain periodic reviews and permanency hearings, as specified, in order to be eligible for AFDC-FC.
This bill would make technical, nonsubstantive changes to that provision.
Vote: majority. Appropriation: no. Fiscal committee: no. State-mandated local program: no.
