This law continues the state’s commitment to an adoption-friendly state by proposing necessary changes to state adoption laws that take the burden off the adoptive parents.

SB 28:

This bill is a compilation of proposals to address problems that have arisen in Georgia in the years following a revision of the Youth Code. This bill also clarifies and adjusts the training requirements for civil servants to host juvenile courts and expands the tools available to juvenile courts to respond to children’s safety needs without causing trauma.

This bill grants tuition and fee waivers to Georgia’s eligible foster and adoptive students in the state’s post-secondary institutions. This bill also provides for state tuition fees for qualified homeless students.

HB 562:

This bill adds three positions to the Advisory Committee on Child Advocates.

HB 548:
