Bishop urges Senate to approve bill to protect foster children from abuse and neglect

State Rep. Louise Williams Bishop, D-Phila., said she is urging members of a state Senate committee to approve legislation that would help to protect foster children in Pennsylvania.

The House passed the legislation (H.B. 2338), which she co-sponsored. The bill is part of a package of four foster care bills that would improve the outcomes for children in foster care and ensure an on-going relationship with siblings, adult relatives and grandparents.
