To enhance the public's access to child welfare program performance indicators, to raise the public's awareness of the child welfare program's client outcomes, to enable the General Assembly to monitor and assess the performance of the Division of Children and Family Services, the Division of Aging, Adult, and Behavioral Health Services, and the Division of Youth Services, and to specifically monitor the compliance of the Division of Children and Family Services with court-ordered settlement agreements and compliance with state laws and rules and federal regulations, the General Assembly finds that special and extraordinary provisions for legislative oversight of the child welfare system should be established.
