Children: adoption services.
Summary
Existing law requires, upon appropriation by the Legislature of funds for this purpose, that the State Department of Social Services establish a 3-year project in 4 counties, including San Francisco and Los Angeles Counties, and one state district office, and further requires that funding to those counties from appropriations in the annual Budget Act be used to provide funding for preadoption and postadoption services to ensure the successful adoption of a targeted population of children who have been in foster care 18 months or more. Existing law requires the department to work with counties to develop requirements for the project, and to provide information on the results of the project to the Legislature, by November 30, 2010. This bill would extend the availability of funds appropriated for the specified adoption activities to June 30, 2010, and would also extend the date for the department to provide the related information to the Legislature to May 31, 2011.
