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 supporting pregnant women and certain parents. The Act outlines the purposes of the program, including promoting two-parent families, raising awareness about adoption practices, and ensuring access to accurate information regarding adoption. It mandates the creation of an Adoption Awareness Program that will provide various services, such as marketing efforts to promote adoption, educational resources for expectant and birth parents, and training 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 emphasizes the importance of maintaining the rights of birth and expectant parents. The Department of Children and Family Services is tasked with rulemaking to implement the program and is required to report annually to the legislature on its status. The Act will take effect on January 1, 2025, contingent upon securing sufficient funding from TANF.
