LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST
SB 407, as introduced, Wiener.
Foster care: placement.
Existing law generally provides for the placement of foster youth in various placement settings, and governs the provision of child welfare services, which is defined to mean public social services that are directed toward the accomplishment of specified purposes, including protecting and promoting the welfare of all children, preventing the unnecessary separation of children from their families, and restoring to their families children who have been removed.
Existing law provides that it is the policy of the state that all minors and nonminors in foster care have specified rights, including, among others, the right to receive medical, dental, vision, and mental health services and the right to be informed of these rights in an age and developmentally appropriate manner and to receive a copy of these rights, at specified intervals.
This bill would state the intent of the Legislature to enact legislation to ensure that LGBTQ foster youth in California are placed in homes that are affirming of LGBTQ identities.
