Show Notes
Iowa Governor Kim Reynolds signs Senate File 296, replacing rigid training mandate with competency-based system for foster parents. The new law allows Iowa Department of Health and Human Services to customize training based on individual skills and experience, expediting the licensing process. This move aligns with Iowas goal of placing its 3,300 foster kids into stable homes faster. The state also joins the federal A Home for Every Child initiative to streamline the process of matching homes with kids in need.
