Good News from the State Legislature Pro-Family Kinship Care Legislation Has Passed Earlier this year, CTV reported on two bills introduced to help family members raising relatives. These bills have now passed and are being presented to the governor to sign. HB 5443 & HB 5444 create a Kinship Care Council and kinship care navigators to support extended family members who are providing for dependent children. The most common form of this type of care-giving relationship is grandparents who are raising their grandchildren. While this is often a wonderful solution for children who would otherwise end up in foster care or other state-funded programs, there is little support for caregivers who may not be prepared to raise children at this stage in life. This legislation provides valuable services and resources to assist family members with the unique challenges of kinship care-giving. New Suicide Prevention Legislation Passes. HB 5482, which required schools to print a suicide prevention hotline telephone number on student identification cards, passed last week. This simple measure may help save young lives and CTV applauds the bipartisan work that went into this policy. Pro-Life Update President Trump Promises a Born Alive Executive Order Last week, President Trump vowed to sign an executive order to protect all babies born alive, including those who survive abortion. In a pre-recorded address to the National Catholic Prayer Breakfast, the president said, "Today, I am announcing that I will be signing the born alive executive order to ensure that all precious babies born alive, no matter their circumstances, receive the medical care that they deserve. This is our sacrosanct moral duty." The president also noted that his administration is increasing federal funding for neonatal research “to ensure that every child has the very best chance to thrive and to grow.” “President Trump’s executive order protects the youngest of patients and ensures that their right to life is defended to the greatest extent of the law,” said Carol Tobias, president of National Right to Life.
