House Bill No. 2361 amends the Successful Adulthood Act to enhance the support provided to children transitioning out of foster care and those released from the custody of the Office of Juvenile Affairs. The bill mandates that children aged fourteen and older in foster care receive a written Notice of Rights detailing their entitlements, including education, health, and safety. Upon reaching eighteen, children who have been in foster care for at least six months will receive essential documents such as a birth certificate, Social Security card, health insurance information, medical records, and educational transcripts. The bill also allows for the continuation of successful adulthood services until the age of twenty-one for eligible individuals.

Additionally, the bill introduces a new provision for individuals released from the Office of Juvenile Affairs, ensuring they receive similar documentation upon their release. This includes a birth certificate, Social Security card, health insurance information, personal medical records, a state-issued ID, and educational credentials. The changes aim to facilitate a smoother transition into adulthood for these vulnerable populations, ensuring they have the necessary resources and information to support their independence. The act is set to take effect on November 1, 2025.
