Fiscal Note Summary


Effect this measure will have on costs and revenues of state government.


The purpose of the bill is to terminate parental rights when certain conditions are met. This legislation could potentially reduce foster care subsidies due to children achieving permanency quicker, but at the same time it could increase the adoption subsidies due to a child going from foster care to adoptive status. At this time, it is unknown how many children currently in foster care have met the criteria of having no parental contact within the last 18 months. The bill allows a tolling of the 18-month period if the parent is incarcerated or in a rehabilitation facility.
