Bill No. 2030 establishes new foster care maintenance payment amounts for resource parents in Oklahoma, specifically for traditional foster parents. The bill outlines specific daily and monthly payment rates based on the age of the child: $22.72 per day or $681.60 per month for children aged 0-5, $25.42 per day or $762.60 per month for children aged 6-12, and $27.62 per day or $828.60 per month for children aged 13 and older. Additionally, the bill mandates that the Director of the Department of Human Services conduct an annual review of these payment rates to ensure they remain appropriate, with the possibility of authorizing higher payments if deemed necessary.

The new law will be codified as Section 7401-101 of Title 10 in the Oklahoma Statutes and is set to take effect on November 1, 2025. This legislative change aims to provide more structured financial support for foster parents, reflecting the varying needs of children in different age groups.
