senate 02/20/2025 - 119th Congress
We are working to establish a grant program aimed at enhancing child welfare services through the GRACIE Act of 2025. Our goal is to ensure greater accountability and transparency by providing grants to states that require the recording of all child welfare interviews. By doing so, we aim to protect the rights of children and adults involved while also supporting more informed decision-making in cases of abuse, neglect, or exposure to violence.

More federal oversight? Are we really trusting Washington to make better decisions on local child welfare?
