Children’s Action Alliance — 2023 Who’s for Kids and Who’s Just Kidding Leg. Scorecard
This year, Arizona legislators introduced several bills that could make policy changes that positively impact children and families. Changes that would increase access to health care, improve the education system and provide families with vital support. Some of those bills became law. KidsCare, the state’s Children’s Health Insurance Program, expanded eligibility to include more low-income working families. A nurse home visitation program was created to serve first-time, low-income parents. Lawmakers on both sides of the aisle overwhelmingly supported ending the practice of “benefits mining,” which allowed the state to seize the social security benefits of children in the foster care system to offset the costs of their care.
