The General Assembly has grave concerns
about the safety of children served by the
State's child protective services, foster care,
and family preservation programs and
finds there is a compelling need to reduce
caseload-to-staff ratios to improve
services for these children. Therefore, the
The Departments of Human Resources
and Budget and Management shall jointly
submit a report to the budget committees
outlining a plan for reducing child welfare
caseload-to-staff ratios. The plan shall
indicate how the caseload-to-staff ratios
will be reduced each year in every
jurisdiction until at a minimum the ratios
recommended by the Child Welfare
League of America are achieved
throughout the State in June 2003. The
departments shall submit their report to
the budget committees by August 1, 2000.
It is the intent of the General Assembly that
the Judiciary, the Department of Human
Resources (DHR). and the Department of
Health and Mental Hygiene (DHMH)
collaborate to improve the implementation
