1 11 f. When a child is sixteen years of age or older, a
1 12 written plan of services which, based upon an assessment of
1 13 the child's needs, would assist the child in preparing for the
1 14 transition from foster care to independent living. The
1 15 written plan of services and needs assessment shall be
1 16 developed with any person who may reasonably be expected to be
1 17 a service provider for the child when the child becomes an
1 18 adult or to become responsible for the costs of services at
1 19 that time, including but not limited to the administrator of
1 20 county general relief under chapter 251 or 252 or of the
1 21 single entry point process implemented under section 331.440.
1 22 If the child is interested in pursuing higher education, the
1 23 plan shall provide for the child's participation in the
1 24 college student aid commission's program of assistance in
1 25 applying for federal and state aid under section 261.2.
1 26 Sec. 2. Section 232.52, subsection 6, unnumbered paragraph

1 28 When the court orders the transfer of legal custody of a

1 30 is sixteen years of age or older, the order shall specify the
1 31 services needed to assist the child in preparing for the
1 32 transition from foster care to independent living. If the
1 33 child has a case permanency plan, the court shall consider the
1 34 written plan of services and needs assessment developed for
1 35 the child's case permanency plan. If the child does not have
2 1 a case permanency plan containing the written plan and needs
2 2 assessment at the time the transfer order is entered, in
2 3 determining the services to be specified in the order, the
2 4 court shall consider a written plan for such services and a
2 5 needs assessment which shall be developed with any person who
2 6 may reasonably be expected to be a service provider for the
2 7 child or to become responsible for the costs of services at
2 8 that time, including but not limited to the administrator of
2 9 county general relief under chapter 251 or 252 or of the
2 10 single entry point process implemented under section 331.440.
2 11 If the child is interested in pursuing higher education, the
2 12 plan shall provide for the child's participation in the
2 13 college student aid commission's program of assistance in
2 14 applying for federal and state aid under section 261.2.

2 18 If the child is sixteen years of age or older, the order
2 19 shall specify the services needed to assist the child in
2 20 preparing for the transition from foster care to independent
2 21 living. If the child has a case permanency plan, the court
2 22 shall consider the written plan of services and needs
2 23 assessment developed for the child's case permanency plan. If
2 24 the child does not have a case permanency plan containing the
2 25 written plan and needs assessment at the time the order is
2 26 entered, in determining the services to be specified in the
2 27 order, the court shall consider a written plan for such
2 28 services and a needs assessment which shall be developed with
2 29 any person who may reasonably be expected to be a service
2 30 provider for the child or to become responsible for the costs
2 31 of services at that time, including but not limited to the
