Summary of Bill S 3935

Bill 118 s 3935 is a proposed piece of legislation that aims to prevent the Secretary of Health and Human Services from moving forward with a proposed rule called "Safe and Appropriate Foster Care Placement Requirements for Titles IV-E and IV-B." This rule would establish new guidelines for foster care placement requirements under Titles IV-E and IV-B of the Social Security Act.

The bill seeks to halt the finalization, implementation, and enforcement of this proposed rule. The reasoning behind this is not explicitly stated in the bill itself, but it is likely that the sponsors of the bill have concerns about the potential impact of the rule on the foster care system.

If passed, this bill would effectively block the Secretary of Health and Human Services from moving forward with the proposed rule, giving Congress more time to review and potentially make changes to the rule before it is implemented. It is important to note that this bill does not propose any alternative solutions or changes to the current foster care system, but rather seeks to prevent the implementation of the proposed rule in its current form.
