that can deter foster parents from teaching youth how to drive. These concerns also extend to youth who are placed in residential care where they are supervised by staff who may not be willing to devote time and expense to helping a young person obtain a driver’s license. (4) Purchasing coverage for a foster youth on a foster parent’s car insurance plan may be an undue burden. Average insurance rates to cover a teenager range between $3,600 to $4,000 a year (depending on the gender of the youth). Foster parents currently receive, on average, only $17 a day to care for a youth who has been placed in their home. (5) There is a need to clarify and specify that the normalcy provisions enacted under the Preventing Sex Trafficking and Strengthening Families Act ( Public Law 113–183 ) direct States to implement the reasonable and prudent parent standard for foster parents to empower them to make decisions regarding the daily activities of children in their care. These daily activities include the ability to drive a car and obtain a learner’s permit and driver’s license—appropriate goals for foster youth ages 14 and older (provided the youth is cognitively able to pursue this activity). The obtainment of a driver’s license is a normal and healthy experience for foster youth in relation to their non-foster care peers. Active efforts to support this goal should include identification of appropriate car insurance plans to ensure that youth are able to engage in the required number of driving hours and have access to a vehicle to complete a driving test. (6) Some States have recognized the need for supporting youth in this process. Currently 12 States (Connecticut, Florida, Georgia, Louisiana, Maine, Nevada, New Jersey, New Mexico, New York, North Dakota, Texas, and Vermont) and the District of Columbia use State and private funds to provide financial support to cover driver’s license fees and tuition for enrollment in driver’s education courses. There are no States that currently cover all of the fees associated or
