Lawmakers are fast-tracking legislation to hire 50 new Child Protective Services workers with a $4.4 million appropriation that could be on Gov. Jan Brewer's desk early next week.

"It will go expeditiously," said House Appropriations Committee Chairman John Kavanagh, R-Fountain Hills. "The safety of children is paramount and they clearly need the additional money." The funding will allow the Department of Economic Security to hire an additional 50 employees, including 31 CPS caseworkers. CPS currently is authorized for 970 caseworkers.

The Providence Journal reports the group Children's Rights suggests in court papers that the child, referred to as "Terrence T," was released from foster care to "moot his claims" in the 2007 lawsuit, which seeks an overhaul of the state's foster care system.
