Not enough signal yet to read this bill's trajectory — we surface a likelihood only once there's real movement (stage, sponsorship, committee, or votes) to point to.

Prognosis reads this bill's own signals — stage, sponsorship breadth, committee status, recorded votes and cross-state momentum. Odds come from a model trained on which bills have become law.

Summary

Amends the Adoption Act. Requires the following information to be provided to adoptive parents if the child was placed in foster care before adoption: (1) whether the child was in the care of more than one foster home before adoption and the reason why the child was moved from one foster home to another foster home; (2) whether other children lived in the foster home during the time of the child's placement in the foster home; (3) basic information and details about each foster parent who cared for the child; and (4) any developmental milestones that occurred before adoption. Amends the foster Parent Law to delete the right of a foster parent to timely training necessary to meet the hair care needs of the children placed in foster care.
