Senate Bill 1009: Requires the Establishment of a Program to Evaluate the Well-Being of Children

This is yet another terrible bill filed during the 2013 legislative session. It would require the Department of Children and Families and the Department of Social Services to “establish a program to evaluate the well-being of children throughout the state.” There is no indication of how this evaluation would be done or what standards would be used to determine a child’s “well-being.”
