Synopsis:This Bill creates a procedure by which youth exiting foster care in Delaware and who are provided services under the John H. Chafee Independence Act and/or the Fostering Connections and Increasing Adoptions Act of 2008 have a legal mechanism for Family Court to review the appropriateness of such services. The bill also specifically limits any findings on the reasonableness of the services to be offered and coordinated by the DSCYF to the youth, including financial, housing, medical, employment, training, education and other appropriate services, to the appropriations made to or by the State of Delaware for this purpose. Finally, the bill allows ongoing representation of the youth by the Office of the Child Advocate or the Court-Appointed Special Advocate program.
