The bill H. 3111 aims to enhance the oversight of youth transitioning out of foster care in South Carolina by mandating the Department of Social Services (DSS) to collect and report data on their outcomes. Specifically, it introduces a new section, 63-7-2410, to the South Carolina Code of Laws, which requires the DSS to compile information regarding the experiences and results of youth who have aged out of the foster care system. This report is to be submitted annually to the General Assembly, providing insights and analysis of the collected data.

Additionally, the bill allows the DSS to utilize information that is already collected for submission to the Children's Bureau or other federal agencies to fulfill this reporting requirement. This provision aims to streamline the process and ensure that the General Assembly receives relevant data without imposing excessive additional burdens on the department. The act will take effect upon the Governor's approval.
