And by standards we are talking quantity not quality, here. The House joined the Senate in passing Senate Bill 33 unanimously without seeming to address how this bill will be paid for. Senate Bill 33 would require that the Division of Family Services reduce caseload standards from 18 families to 12 families per caseworker.
The bill will now be sent to the Governor for his signature.
