The 2015 South Dakota legislature may be asked to consider a bill that would more clearly define the rights of foster parents.

District 18 legislators met with a group foster parents in Yankton on Friday.

Senator-elect Bernie Hunhoff says there are no clear guidelines where foster parents stand…

 

Hunhoff says everyone involved in helping kids have similar goals, so that is a good starting point…

 

Hunhoff says he has heard a lot of frustrations with the current system…

 

The legislators told the group it may be difficult to establish a full list of guidelines in one legislative session.
