1) Re: 2010 Senate Bill 1528 (Revise charitable organizations regulations ) by beverlytran on December 19, 2010If a charitable organization is licensed through the Bureau of Children and Adult Licensing, it does not have to go through the Attorney General's office charity licensure requirements.
The Attorney General contemporaneously advises and advocates fraudulent patterns of practice for the privately contracted child welfare arms of the state.
A child welfare agency is not subject to external forensic audits.
These exemptions allow fraud in child welfare to flourish freely.
