AI Summary
This bill amends existing law to provide that the extended absence of a parent due to active duty in or deployment with the United States armed forces shall not be considered child neglect, abuse, or abandonment. It also provides that temporary guardianships granted while a parent is on active duty or deployed shall end once the parent is able to resume care, custody, and control of the minor. This is intended to ensure that service members' absence due to military duty does not result in their children being considered neglected or abandoned, and that temporary guardianships are not prolonged beyond the parent's return.
