	BILL TEXT


INTRODUCED BY   Senator Yee

                        FEBRUARY 22, 2013

   An act relating to foster care.


	LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST


   SB 575, as introduced, Yee. Foster care trust funds: general
obligation bonds.
   Existing law provides for child welfare services, which are public
social services directed toward, among other purposes, protecting
and promoting the welfare of all children, including those in foster
care placement. Existing law provides for the Aid to Families with
Dependent Children-Foster Care (AFDC-FC) program, under which,
pursuant to a combination of federal, state, and county funds, aid on
behalf of eligible children is paid to foster care providers.
   This bill would declare the intent of the Legislature to
subsequently amend this bill to include provisions that would seek
approval of the voters for the issuance of general obligation bonds
to provide revenue for the establishment of an individual trust fund
account for each foster child to provide funds necessary to pay the
costs of care and related costs until the child reaches 26 years of
age.
   Vote: majority. Appropriation: no. Fiscal committee: no.
State-mandated local program: no.


THE PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA DO ENACT AS FOLLOWS:

  SECTION 1.  It is the intent of the Legislature to subsequently
amend this measure to include provisions that would seek approval of
the voters for the issuance of general obligation bonds to provide
revenue for the establishment of an individual trust fund account for
each foster child to provide funds necessary to pay the costs of
care and related costs until the child reaches 26 years of age.
