Neb. Rev. Stat. §§ 43-4502
Current with changes through the 2024 First Special Legislative Session
The purpose of the Young Adult Bridge to Independence Act is to provide support for former state or tribal wards, and for other youth who are exiting state care, who are disconnected from family support, and who are at risk of homelessness, as they transition to adulthood, become self-sufficient, and create permanent relationships. The bridge to independence program shall at all times recognize and respect the autonomy of the young adult. Nothing in the Young Adult Bridge to Independence Act shall be construed to abrogate any other rights that a person who has attained eighteen or nineteen years of age may have as an adult under state or tribal law.
