SUPPORT Kagi "Striker" Bill to E2SSB 5943!
REP. KAGI UNVEILS MAJOR AMENDMENT TO CHILD WELFARE BILL
UPDATE: 3/24/09*******
Rep. Ruth Kagi unveiled her amendment to strike all the language in the bad Child Welfare Services bill and replace it with language calling for a pilot project at two sites only.
The good amendment to E2SSB 5943 will be voted on later this week in committee.
As passed by the Senate, E2SSB 5943 would have privatized all of DSHS Child Welfare Services.
But the amendment brought forth to the House Early Learning and Children's Services Committee would take a more prudent and cost-effective approach.
The amendment would set up a parallel pilot project in two sites with privatization but also with the ability of members to exercise their contractual rights to compete to provide the services.
The pilot project would then be evaluated to see if it worked and should be expanded or ended.
