Within the parameters of Supreme Court policies, this committee also works to ensure that both the community and the legislature are keenly aware of the needs, work and continuing efforts of the GAL/CASA movement across the state and nation. Committee members assist the State Office in monitoring laws relating to GAL/CASA and children in the child welfare system, in addition to keeping the network aware of relevant pending changes to law.
