This amendment eliminates $10.6 million from the general fund and $10.1 million from nongeneral funds the second year for the Department of Social Services to expand foster care and adoption assistance to children between the ages of 19 and 21 that was contained in the introduced budget. Companion amendments in Item 334 eliminate language implementing this new initiative and restore funding in Item 289 to the Comprehensive Services Act program which was reduced in the introduced budget as part of this initiative. Language directs the Commissioner of the Department of Social Services to report on efforts to increase adoptions of children from foster care and efforts to help children transition from foster care to independence.
