Child welfare advocates and providers are imploring lawmakers to strengthen demographic data collected and reported by state agencies that interact with youth, with the goal of eliminating racial and ethnic disparities, among other inequities.

Paul Donato and Sen. Su Moran (H 153 / S 120) that would impose new responsibilities on the Office of the Child Advocate to protect at-youth risk.
