SB 6479-S2 - DIGEST
(AS OF SENATE 2ND READING 2/15/2008)

Recognizes that many children in state care have suffered physical, mental, and emotional abuse and neglect, resulting in an inability to trust or develop healthy relationships with others, a condition referred to as reactive attachment disorder.

Intends to create a single county pilot project that will deliver a comprehensive and integrated approach to the assessment, diagnosis, and treatment of reactive attachment disorder.

Requires that the joint legislative audit and review committee shall conduct a study of the pilot program to evaluate the effectiveness of the intake tool and treatment service model provided in the pilot program.
