2005 House Bill 4123

Provide support for young adults leaving foster care

Introduced in the House

Feb. 1, 2005

Introduced by Rep. Brenda Clack (D-34)

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 Committee on Families and Childrens Services
