IN RE:
SB1084 by Powell (Relating to the Preparation for Adult Living Program and other services for foster children transitioning to independent living.), As Introduced

No significant fiscal implication to the State is anticipated.

The bill would amend Family Code to require the Department of Family and Protective Services (DFPS) to address barriers for youth with disabilities to participate in the Preparation for Adult Living Program and to ensure all youth participating in the program are provided certain information and services. The bill would also require DFPS to provide certain information and services on housing to assist youth entering extended foster care.

Based on information from DFPS, it is assumed that the costs associated with implementing the provisions of the bill could be absorbed within existing resources. 

Local Government Impact

No fiscal implication to units of local government is anticipated.
