This bill directs the federal government to streamline administrative requirements for state and local child welfare agencies that receive federal funding. The Department of Health and Human Services must review and simplify data collection forms, reduce paperwork compliance by at least 15 percent, and align fiscal requirements with other federal grant programs. The agency has two years to implement these changes and must notify affected child welfare agencies of any modifications, with a requirement to report to Congress within three years on the actions taken. The legislation aims to free up resources in child welfare agencies so they can focus more directly on serving children and families rather than handling excessive paperwork and bureaucratic requirements.
