The bill mandates the Children, Youth and Families Department to issue identification cards to licensed foster parents, enhancing their ability to identify themselves as legitimate caregivers. This requirement applies to all foster parents who have received a full license to operate a foster home, excluding those with provisional or temporary licenses.

The new section of the Children's Code specifically states that the identification card serves as a means for foster parents to confirm their status as licensed providers while they are caring for children or youth in the custody of the department. This initiative aims to streamline the identification process for foster parents and improve the overall foster care system.
