SUMMARY AS PASSED SENATE: (all summaries)

Foster care; independent living services. Extends from 60 days to 180 days the period after discontinuation of independent living services during which a person in foster care who has not yet reached the age of 21 may request restoration of independent living services. The bill requires local departments to provide information and counseling to persons ages 18 to 21 who elect to leave foster care or terminate independent living services regarding available independent living services, should the person choose to continue receiving them, and the option and process of restoration of services, should the person choose to discontinue them. The provisions of the bill are contingent on funding in a general appropriation act passed during the 2013 Session of the General Assembly, which becomes law.
