This bill would prohibit the Department of Homeless Services (DHS) from requiring children to be present in person at an intake facility when their family applies or reapplies for placement at a shelter except when DHS requests to remotely view a child and is unable to do so within 24 hours, or when a child has not checked in to their assigned shelter by the shelter curfew on the day following placement.
