SCR 105 Idaho Senate · 68th Legislature, 1st Regular Session (2025)

ADOPTION – States findings of the Legislature and declares support for receiving federal funds for supporting adoption in Idaho.

SCR 105 is a concurrent resolution declaring the Idaho Legislature's support for seeking federal funds to enhance adoption services. It would allow Idaho to receive federal money for adoption education, awareness, and improved support for birth mothers - specifically for emotional, medical, and legal assistance during adoption. The resolution does not allocate state funds or create new programs but prepares the state to use federal resources (returning some taxpayer money) if received. It directly affects birth mothers seeking adoption support and adoption programs administered by Idaho's Department of Health and Welfare.
