Analysis by the Legislative Reference Bureau
Under current law, a proposed adoptive parent must complete 25 hours of
pre-adoption training. Of these 25 hours, 6 hours must be completed in person and
6 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.
