I am thrilled about this new bill to support older youth who have experienced foster care. It is so important to provide the necessary resources and support for these individuals as they transition into adulthood. This bill will truly make a positive impact on their lives and help them succeed. Everyone benefits from this bill, especially those who have been in foster care.
