SB 730 — Modifies provisions regarding subsidies for adoptive parents and guardians.
Congress · introduced 2024-12-31
Digest: The Act allows certain children to receive direct support, to keep in touch with their siblings and to know their life history. (Flesch Readability Score: 65.2). Modifies provisions regarding subsidies for adoptive parents and guardians. Authorizes the Department of Human Services to redirect subsidy payments for the benefit of a child who no longer receives direct support from an adoptive parent or guardian. Creates a rebuttable presumption that continuing contact with biological siblings is in the best interest of children of parents whose parental rights have been terminated. Directs the court to make a determination regarding a child's continuing contact with the child's biological siblings when parental rights are terminated. Directs the department to disclose records regarding a child's life history, at the request of the child, if the child's parent's parental rights to the child were surrendered or terminated.
