House Bill 2225 establishes provisions relating to the creation of a temporary adoption review committee to review the process for finding permanent placement for children in the conservatorship of the state. The bill requires the Department of Family and Protective Services, in conjunction with the committee, to conduct an extensive review of the foster care system to identify obstacles that impede the permanent placement of foster children and to develop improvements to the foster care system. The bill requires the department to submit a written report summarizing the findings of the review and related recommendations to the governor, the lieutenant governor, the speaker of the house of representatives, the House Committee on Human Services, and the Senate Committee on Health and Human Services no later than December 1, 2010, and abolishes the review committee on September 1, 2011.
