AB 665 California Assembly · 2009-2010 Regular Session

State adoption services: investment.

Summary

Existing law provides for child welfare services, which are public social services directed toward, among other purposes, protecting and promoting the welfare of all children, including those in foster care placement. Under existing law, the State Department of Social Services may provide state adoption services in a county that has not established a county adoption agency. Existing law requires the state to reinvest incentive payments, received through the implementation of specified provisions of federal law, into the child welfare system, in order to provide adoption services for older children. This bill would, instead, require the state to reinvest adoption incentive payments, received through the implementation of specified provisions of federal law, into the child welfare system, in order to provide legal permanency outcomes for older children, as specified. This bill would require the adoption incentive payments, upon appropriation by the Legislature, to be allocated to counties, and the department for a county in which the department serves as an adoption agency, based on documented legal permanency outcomes for older children achieved by each county for the purpose of improving legal permanency outcomes for older children, as specified.
