Senate Bill 17, read in the Senate Standing Committee on Social Services, proposes changes to how unearned income of a child is treated under Social Services Law in certain circumstances. The committee moved and reported the bill.
Committee chair Senator Roxanne Persaud said the current approach "actually hurts the family when they're trying to receive assistance from social services." There was limited discussion; Senator Kavanaugh seconded a motion to move the bill, and the committee reported it to the next stage.
The transcript does not include a detailed roll-call tally or additional policy details beyond the bill title and the committee’s action to report the bill.
