2007 House Bill 4481 ↩

Senate Roll Call 441: Passed

To establish a foster care independence program to offer education, training, employment, and financial support for young adults leaving foster care. The bill specifies certain educational support the program would be required to provide, and authorizes stipends for those between the ages of 18 and 21 to cover costs related to acquiring a residence, such as security deposits, contingent on federal funding. Much of the bill reflects codification of existing federal requirements and state policies.
