Requiring performance-based contracts for the provision of child welfare services.

Summary

  • Directs the Department of Social and Health Services (DSHS) to implement performance-based contracts for the delivery of child welfare services in two demonstration sites beginning January 1, 2011.
  • Establishes a Performance Contracting Oversight Committee to provide guidance, structure, and technical assistance, to develop criteria, and to select sites for implementation of the contracts.
  • Requires an evaluation of the demonstration sites with recommendations to the Governor and the Legislature.
  • Permits the Governor, based on the recommendations, to direct expansion, adjustment, or termination of the pilots.
  • Directs the Caseload Forecast Council, the Office of Financial Management, and the DSHS to submit a proposal to the Legislature and the Governor by November 2010, with details necessary for reinvesting savings from the reduced foster care caseload into expanding the delivery of evidence-based prevention and intervention services in the two demonstration regions.
