The bill enacts Chapter 14-E of Title 46 of the Louisiana Revised Statutes, known as the Adoption Awareness Act, which establishes an assistance program within the Department of Children and Family Services aimed at promoting adoption awareness and supporting pregnant women and certain parents. The Act outlines the purposes of the program, including encouraging two-parent families, providing accurate information on adoption, and ensuring the availability of resources. It mandates the creation of an Adoption Awareness Program that will contract with eligible vendors to deliver services such as marketing, educational hotlines, and training resources for healthcare professionals.

Additionally, the bill specifies eligibility criteria for participants, reporting requirements for vendors, and funding mechanisms through the Temporary Assistance to Needy Families (TANF) Block Grant. It includes provisions for legal representation in adoption proceedings and protections for vendors regarding their freedom of religion and conscience. The Department of Children and Family Services is tasked with rulemaking and oversight to ensure the program's effectiveness, and the Act will not be operational until sufficient funding is secured. The effective date of the Act is set for January 1, 2025.
