Georgia lawmakers are advancing child welfare bills, focusing on kids with autism in foster care, abuse victims, and spending controls. A key bill expands a successful pilot program offering clinical services for foster children with autism and other disorders. Another proposal eliminates non-disclosure agreements in childhood sexual abuse cases. Lawmakers also aim to increase Family Justice Centers, which provide bundled help for victims. Experts and survivors support these measures, citing benefits like improved prosecutions and reduced violence. Bills for tighter spending oversight and a new study committee on rising costs are also in play, signaling Georgias ongoing push for smarter child welfare support.
