• Introduced by Rep. Brenda Clack (D) on February 1, 2005, to create a state foster care independence program to offer education, training, employment, and financial support for young adults age 14 to 21 who are leaving foster care. A 1999 federal law requires states to adopt a program like this in return for more money, and most or all of what this bill would place in statute are things that the Family Independence Agency is already doing.
  • Referred to the House Family and Childrens Services Committee on February 1, 2005.
