September 2024| The U.S. House of Representatives on Wednesday passed a bill to support foster care and child welfare services, including four pieces of legislation either introduced or co-sponsored by Lancaster County's congressman, Lloyd Smucker. Clearing by a 405-10 vote, the overall bill would renew and reform the 2008 federal child welfare law giving resources to states and tribal governments to support foster care services. That law will expire at the end of this year if Congress does not reauthorize it. |
