SUMMARY AS PASSED HOUSE: (all summaries)

Independent living services. Provides local departments of social services with statutory authorization to provide independent living services to persons between 18 and 21 years of age in order to help them transition from foster care to self-sufficiency. Currently, there is no state or federal law against providing such services, and this bill serves to codify the existing policy of allowing local departments to do so, if they choose. Consistent with this intent, the bill adds the provision of independent living services to persons between 18 and 21 years of age who are transitioning out of foster care to the services that may be provided by a children's residential facility.
