What this bill does

Plain-language analysis by the nonpartisan Legislative Reference Bureau

This bill allows the Department of Children and Families to certify a residential

care center, group home, or shelter care facility to operate a qualified residential

treatment program for children and youth (QRTP) if it determines that the program

meets the federal requirements for such a program to receive Title IV-E child welfare

funding and DCF's requirements for such a program. Under the bill, DCF is required

to promulgate rules for the establishment, certification, and operation of a QRTP.
