Summary
Donated items belong to the child. No one can take them back.
The bill orders the Department of Family and Protective Services to set up an online registry, run itself or by a contractor, where people can donate requested personal items for foster children. Children who are removed from home or moved to a new placement get those donated items, and the items belong to the child, so neither the department nor a foster parent can take them back. The department must report each year to the legislature on its inventory and how many children got items, starting with the law's September 1, 2027 effective date.
