By ensuring that reports are due on or before January 31, the bill seeks to streamline processes and ensure that relevant agencies and individuals adhere to a consistent timeline. This is especially relevant for state agencies involved in matters concerning children's lives, as timely information can affect decisions regarding their welfare and services provided to them.

Summary

The bill outlines minor changes to the timing of annual reports that are related to the welfare of children. Specifically, it modifies the existing requirement that a report be submitted by January 31 each year to state that this report should be submitted on or before January 31 of each year, thereby providing a clearer deadline for compliance.
