Nebraska lawmakers have voted to spend $16 million over the next two years to address problems highlighted by the drop-off of dozens of children last year under the safe-haven law.

The plan received final approval Thursday. It would cost about $130 million less than what was originally proposed.

The rash of drop-offs of older children prompted an emergency session last year so lawmakers could put an age limit of 30 days in the law that had been meant to prevent infants from being abandoned in trash bins or worse.

The bill (LB603) includes more counseling and other services for families who adopt foster kids and a statewide hotline families could call to find help.

The measure now goes to the governor.
