“Stop Child Abuse at Residential Programs…” Update
H.R. 911, “Stop Child Abuse at Residential Programs for Teens Act of 2009″ was proposed by Congressman George Miller (D-CA) and passed quickly through the U.S. House of Representatives on February 23, 2009. The bill is currently pending in the U.S. Senate. It requires regulation and licensing of residential programs, whether or not public funds are accepted, and spells out many specific requirements.
CORE supports the intent of H.R. 911, and is working to try to improve specific sections of the legislation. CORE is partnering with other national organizations for some aspects of this work.
