(WECT)- New bill in state house hopes to address foster care system issues
WILMINGTON, N.C. (WECT) - North Carolina lawmakers are moving forward with an effort to reform the state’s foster care system, which critics have called “broken.”
House Bill 612, filed Monday with bipartisan support in the state house, would make a series of changes to oversight of foster care in North Carolina.
“If this bill passes, many children can exit foster care, and spend less time in foster care, and also less time spent in court, which is a good thing,” said Lisa Cauley, a division director for the North Carolina Department of Health and Human Services.
