_______________________________________________________________________
AMENDMENTS
In the House of Representatives, U. S.,
July 25, 2006.
Resolved, That the bill from the Senate (S. 3525) entitled ``An Act to amend
subpart 2 of part B of title IV of the Social Security Act to improve outcomes
for children in families affected by methamphetamine abuse and addiction, to
reauthorize the promoting safe and stable families program, and for other
purposes'', do pass with the following
AMENDMENTS:
Strike out all after the enacting clause and insert:
SECTION 1. SHORT TITLE.
This Act may be cited as the ``Child and Family Services
Improvement Act of 2006''.
SEC. 2. FINDINGS.
The Congress finds as follows:
(1) For Federal fiscal year 2004, child protective services
(CPS) staff nationwide reported investigating or assessing an
estimated 3,000,000 allegations of child maltreatment, and
determined that 872,000 children had been abused or neglected
by their parents or other caregivers.
(2) Combined, the Child Welfare Services (CWS) and
Promoting Safe and Stable Families (PSSF) programs provide
States about $700,000,000 per year for services intended to
ensure the safety, permanency, and well-being of children.
These programs are considered the largest source of targeted
Federal funding in the child protection system for prevention--
that is, for services to ensure that children are not abused or
neglected and, whenever possible, help children remain safely
with their families.
(3) States have broad flexibility in directing CWS dollars
to protect children from abuse and neglect. Under the PSSF
program, States must invest significant portions of program
funds in family preservation services, family support services,
time-limited reunification services, and post-adoption support
services.
(4) However, a 2003 report by the Government Accountability
Office (GAO) reported that little research is available on the
effectiveness of activities supported by CWS funds--evaluations
of services supported by PSSF funds have generally shown little
or no effect.
(5) Further, the Department of Health and Human Services
recently completed initial Child and Family Service Reviews
(CFSRs) in each State. No State was in full compliance with all
measures of the CFSRs. The CFSRs also revealed that States need
to work to prevent repeat abuse and neglect of children,
improve services provided to families to reduce the risk of
future harm (including by better monitoring the participation
of families in services), and strengthen upfront services
provided to families to prevent unnecessary family break-up and
protect children who remain at home.
(6) Federal policy should ensure that States are
appropriately targeting CWS and PSSF funds to assist at-risk
families and protect abused and neglected children to address
issues found in the CFSRs. Encouraging States to invest their
CWS and PSSF funds in services that promote and protect the
welfare of children, support strong, healthy families, and
reduce the reliance on out-of-home care, will help ensure all
children are raised in safe, loving families.
(7) CFSRs also found a strong correlation between frequent
caseworker visits with children and positive outcomes for these
children, such as timely achievement of permanency and other
indicators of child well-being.
(8) However, a December 2005 report by the Department of
Health and Human Services Office of Inspector General found
that only 20 States were able to produce reports to show
whether caseworkers actually visited children in foster care on
at least a monthly basis, despite the fact that nearly all
States had written standards suggesting monthly visits were
State policy. In fact, 7 of these 20 States indicated that
fewer than half of the children in foster care were visited on
a monthly basis.
(9) The Deficit Reduction Act of 2005 provided $40,000,000
in fiscal year 2006 for the PSSF program which this Act ensures
will be available and which the Congressional Budget Office
estimates will increase mandatory budget authority by
$40,000,000 each year from 2006 through 2015, for a total of
$400,000,000.
(10) A 2003 GAO report found that the average tenure for a
child welfare caseworker is less than 2 years and this level of
turnover negatively affects safety and permanency for children.
(11) Targeting additional PSSF funds to ensure children in
foster care are visited on at least a monthly basis will
promote better outcomes for vulnerable children, including by
preventing further abuse and neglect.
