    Confidence: High on the cited statutory duty. Family placement is editorial; executor is an organizational routing lead, not a verified individual delegation.

    Currentness: Added October 4, 2026. Enacted §9025 text in P.L. 118-159 §924 retrieved; official OLRC search-index text through September 2026 corroborated it while the direct page was under maintenance. Targeted P.L. 119-60 text search found no §9025 or Office of Expanded Competition reference. This is not exhaustive later-law certification.

    Review scope: Record reviewed 2026-10-04. Publication is not legal-currentness certification.
