What this bill does
Plain-language analysis by the nonpartisan Legislative Reference Bureau
Under current law, a proposed adoptive parent must complete 25 hours of
preadoption training. Of these 25 hours, six hours must be completed in person and
six hours must be targeted toward the specific needs of the child to be adopted. This
bill allows adoptive parents to complete the in-person training requirements
through a live videoconference.
