Summary

The bill amends the Successful Adulthood Act to require that youths ages 14‑18 in foster care receive a written Notice of Rights and, when they turn 18 after at least six months in care, are provided with a birth certificate, Social Security card, health‑insurance information, medical records, a state ID, and education records. It also extends eligibility for transition planning, housing, and other support services through age 21 and adds Medicaid coverage for eligible young adults. Additionally, the law creates a parallel document‑handout requirement for young adults released from the Office of Juvenile Affairs.
