This bill amends West Virginia Code ยง49-2-123 to require the Department of Human Services to publicly release a schedule of adoption subsidy payments for the upcoming year. The new provision, inserted as subsection (d), mandates that this schedule be made available by January 1 of each year.

The bill aims to enhance transparency regarding financial support for adoption cases, ensuring that relevant stakeholders and the public have access to information about the subsidies that will be provided. This addition complements existing requirements for annual reports and directories related to child welfare agencies and child care providers, thereby reinforcing the state's commitment to accountability in child welfare services.
