Email from Finchem for AZ Senate Oversight and reform of Department of Child Safety (DCS)     Hello John, Every time the State of Arizona removes a child from their home, it assumes a grave responsibility - not just to protect, but to act transparently, ethically, and with urgency. But too often, that doesn’t happen. Children are trapped in a broken system. Families are left in the dark. And decisions about a child’s future are made without facts, without clarity, and without accountability. That ends now. I’ve introduced SB 1149 to force long-overdue oversight and reform within the Department of Child Safety (DCS) and our court system. -No more rubber-stamping reviews. SB 1149 requires DCS to submit a clear written report before every hearing - detailing where the child is, what services are being provided, and whether reunification is still possible. -No more vague court rulings. Judges must now issue precise, on-the-record decisions that explain why a child is remaining in care - or why they’re going home. -No more defaulting to the system. The bill prioritizes placement with relatives or trusted adults before institutional or foster care - keeping children connected to family whenever safely possible. -No more silent consequences. Parents are clearly warned: if you fail to show up or engage with services, you may lose your rights permanently. This bill puts families first. It puts facts first. And above all - it puts Arizona’s children first. But passing reform like this won’t be easy. The bureaucrats, the lawyers, and the entrenched special interests will push back. They like a system with no sunlight. That’s why I need your help. Chip in $25, $50, or whatever you can! Stand with me and add your name in support of SB 1149. Together, we can shine a light on a broken system - and protect the next generation from falling through the cracks. America First. Always.
