DHFS Stand-alone Motions
The committee adopted a motion from Sen. Hansen to allow Wisconsin Technical College Districts and the UW System to provide preadoption for proposed adoptive parents. Currently, the two systems are not authorized to provide the training.
Adopted 12-4 was a motion to spend $411,600 annually to increase funding for post-adoption centers. Decker, who authored the motion with Rep. Stone, said the centers had not received an increase in four years, and the funding helps save money in the long run as it keeps kids out of the foster care system.
Also adopted was a motion by Hansen to direct DHFS to collaborate with community-based organizations that serve youth and families to promote health and wellness and to reduce childhood obesity.
