Governor Tommy G. Thompson. Referred to Committee on Health, Human
Services and Aging.
SB224,1,2
1An Act to repeal 48.38 (5m) of the statutes;
relating to: permanency plan
2review panel annual reports.
Analysis by the Legislative Reference Bureau
Under current law, a permanency plan must be prepared for each child living
in an out-of-home placement. A permanency plan must include, among other
things, a description of the services offered to make it possible for the child to return
home and the conditions, including any changes necessary in the parent's conduct,
that must be met for the child to be returned home. Current law requires the court
assigned to exercise jurisdiction under the children's code (juvenile court) or a panel
appointed by the juvenile court to review a child's permanency plan every 6 months.
Current law requires each county department of human services or social services
to report annually to the department of health and social services (DHSS)
information on the membership of permanency plan review panels, the
determinations of those panels and any other information that DHSS may require
by rule. This bill eliminates the annual reporting requirement.
For further information see the state and local fiscal estimate, which will be
printed as an appendix to this bill.
The people of the state of Wisconsin, represented in senate and assembly, do
