Laws 2001, Chapter 84 repealed and modified sections relating to interstate adoption placements as a result of a ruling by the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals. The Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals ruled that a law requiring the Arizona Health Care Cost Containment System to recover parental care costs from out-of-state adopters was unconstitutional.
SB 1020 repeals the remaining law, not repealed in Laws 2001, Chapter 84, which requires the Department of Economic Security to forward an accounting report of the parental care costs out-of-state adopters were required to pay as a condition of their adoption. Out-of-state adopters are no longer required to reimburse the state for parental care costs.
