received. (a) The State Department of Human Resources shall charge and collect a fee in the
amount of $300.00 for investigation services they perform in cases involving adoption, provided,

Section 38-12-31 Legislative findings. The Legislature finds and declares the following: (1)
There exists in this state a number of children who cannot reside with their parents, legal
guardians, or legal custodians because of such parents', legal guardians', or custodians'
incapacity or inability to perform the regular and expected functions of care and support
of the children and family care and who thereby come to the attention of juvenile court and
into the care and custody of the Department of Human Resources. (2) An increasing number of
relatives, including grandparents, find themselves wanting to provide care to related foster
children on a long-term basis to prevent the children from remaining in foster care with unrelated
caregivers yet these relatives are either unable or unwilling to seek termination of the legal
relationships between the parent and the child, particularly when it is the caregiver's own
child or sibling who is the parent. (3) It is in the public interest to...

have been temporarily retained with alternate funding other than funds appropriated to the
Unified Judicial System; however, this alternate funding cannot be relied upon in the future.
