We think that will right size responses.

And allow agencies to focus on the most egregious cases where safety is truly at risk.

Certainly the goal, the goal is to right size the agency's response to the cases where there is true situations going on where a child safety is at risk where foster care may be appropriate so that's that's one of the things I mean certainly you know we talked about preventing entry into foster care.

But recruiting and retaining good, high-quality foster homes is another.

And too many states have larded up foster care licensing with red tape.

Certainly things are necessary.

Let's do criminal background checks.

Let's do...

child abuse and neglect registry checks and all of those things.

But too many states larded up foster care licensing with just superfluous things like requirements for pet vaccines and other things where when I was a former state child welfare agency director, when my choice was having a child stay in the red roof in or putting them at the family's home, who is a good, high quality family, but we don't know the vaccine status of their pet rabbits.

That's a very

I think it would be.

We had a lot of red tape.

We required foster homes to have four-foot fences around every body of water.

I bet no farm in Weston has four-foot fences along all of the irrigation canal.

Let's roll up a brick carpet and let's make it easier to get good, high-quality foster families into the system.

Yeah, it's another thing we've been focused on.

And I always say this is something straight out of a Charles Dickens novel, where essentially a child's parents died, that child's parents had worked.

So they were entitled to some social security through earned benefits through work.

Traditionally, the child would be eligible for the survivor's benefit.
