        AN ACT to amend the social services law, in relation to requiring  agen-

          state-funded  benefits  or  services  received  by a foster child that
          expire upon adoption

        bly, do enact as follows:
 
     1    Section  1.  Section  372-f  of  the social services law is amended by
     2  adding a new subdivision 5 to read as follows:
     3    5. The office of children and family services shall  promulgate  regu-
     4  lations  which shall require authorized agencies in the state to provide
     5  a foster parent, who has expressed interest in adopting a foster  child,
     6  with a list of any publicly-funded benefits or services that such foster
     7  child  will  be  eligible  for upon the adoption of such foster child as
     8  well as a list of any publicly-funded benefits  or  services  that  such
     9  foster  child  is  currently  eligible  for,  but  shall expire upon the
    10  adoption of such foster child. If a service  shall  expire,  information
    11  shall  be  provided  on if that service is available in the community or
