I have heard nothing.
BUT I am selfishly thinking that maybe this will force the states to act quicker on the TPR. I have two that have been in care for 20 Months and the TRP should have been started in Oct....now we are looking at January. The oldest is 7 and getting close to the "hard to find a family" age.
Even if it is just so the parent visits stop. Think of that cost savings - The kids would be able to emotional start to move on.
I was estimating costs the other day, It is costing my county @ $8,000 per child per month for continued care (not including medical - not I don't get the 8 grand). If the TRPs would have been started on time, that would have save the county $45,000 and counting.....I'll estimate that it will cost $150,000 due to paperwork and court delays before these kids find forever homes.
