Requires States to address foster youths' legal needs in Chafee plans

Adds the phrase “legal counseling access” to the list of services in the Chafee program statute (42 U.S.C. 677(a)(4)).

Requires a chief executive officer certification that state case planning considers legal issues affecting housing, education, employment, and family connections, including court records and legal recognition of family relationships (added to 42 U.S.C. 677(b)(3)).

Sets an effective date: the amendments apply to plans approved on or after one year from enactment.

Authorizes a further compliance delay if HHS determines State legislation is required—delay lasts until after the next relevant state legislative session.
