This proposal would require the Division of Family Services to provide an annual report to the governor, the president pro tempore of the senate, and the speaker of the house of representatives on the status of welfare reform in Missouri. The report would include current statistics and recommendations regarding individuals who have successfully left welfare and employment of those individuals, individuals who remain or have returned to welfare, and the benefits of welfare reform realized by families, employers, and the state.



This legislation is not federally mandated, would not duplicate any other program and would not require additional capital improvements or rental space.
