Foster care: rights.
Summary
Existing law provides that it is the policy of the state that all minors and nonminors in foster care have specified rights, including, among others, the right to receive medical, dental, vision, and mental health services and the right to be placed in out-of-home care according to their gender identity, regardless of the gender or sex listed in their court or child welfare records. This bill would revise these various rights, as specified, and would include additional rights, including, among others, the right to be referred to by the youth's preferred name and gender pronoun, the right to maintain the privacy of the youth's lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer, and questioning status and gender identity, except as provided, and the right to have reasonable access to computer technology and the Internet.
