the Congress that the States should expeditiously revise 
the ICPC to better serve the interests of children and re-
duce unnecessary work, and that the revision should in-
clude—
(1) limiting its applicability to children in foster 
care under the responsibility of a State, except those 
seeking placement in a licensed residential facility 
primarily to access clinical mental health services; 
and 
(2) providing for deadlines for the completion 
and approval of home studies as set forth in section 
4.

mation in any child abuse and neglect reg-
istry maintained by the State, and to pre-
vent any such information obtained pursu-
ant to this subparagraph from being used
