HB 2030 Oklahoma House · 2026 Regular Session

Children; foster care maintenance payment amounts; Director; Department of Human Services; codification; effective date.

HB 2030 establishes new, age-based foster care maintenance payment rates for resource parents in Oklahoma. It sets daily and monthly rates ranging from $22.72/day ($681.60/month) for children aged 0-5 up to $27.62/day ($828.60/month) for youth aged 13 and older. The bill requires the Department of Human Services Director to annually review these rates under federal guidelines and potentially increase payments beyond the specified amounts. The changes take effect November 1, 2025, directly affecting foster parents caring for children in state custody.

What changed between versions

Floor (House) Floor (Senate) · 3 edits
MINOR
The bill was amended to reflect its progression from the House to the Senate floor, updating the header information and committee report details. The core policy regarding foster care payment amounts remains unchanged, but the text now explicitly distinguishes between 'Resource Parents' and 'traditional foster parents' in the House version, a distinction that was standardized in the Senate version. The effective date remains November 1, 2025.
Scope change
The bill's scope regarding foster care payments and eligibility criteria remains unchanged; the amendments are primarily procedural updates to the bill's versioning and committee reporting.
TECHNICAL

Updated the document header to change from 'HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES' to 'SENATE FLOOR VERSION' and added the date April 23, 2025.

Changed the committee report date from March 6, 2025 to April 23, 2025, and updated the committee name to 'COMMITTEE ON APPROPRIATIONS' without the 'AND BUDGET' designation.

Standardized the terminology in the payment section to use 'traditional foster parents' consistently, removing the specific distinction between 'Resource Parents' and 'traditional foster parents' found in the House version.
