CHILDREN: Provides for the Adoption Awareness Act. (8/1/24) (EN +$334,379 FF EX See Note)

This bill directs the Louisiana Department of Health and the Department of Children and Family Services to place a prominent link to the AdoptionOption.La.Gov website on their official sites. It also allows other state agencies with websites to include this same link to help the public find adoption resources. By making this information easily accessible, the legislation aims to increase awareness about adoption options for residents. The changes apply specifically to state government websites and do not alter existing adoption laws or procedures.
