The bill makes changes to child foster care, child and dependent adult abuse, and internal audit and examination information confidentiality within.

The bill amends child foster care provisions, allowing a relative or fictive kin to provide care without a license if they are not approved by the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS). It also expands the definition of "licensee" to include individuals approved by HHS to provide child foster care. The bill makes child abuse information and information obtained in the course of an assessment or evaluation of a report of dependent adult abuse confidential records. It allows a community-based entity to apply for and receive funds appropriated to HHS for child abuse prevention.
