Bill Summary
For legislation to accelerate the reunification of children with family members and eliminate unnecessary time in foster care. The Judiciary.
AI Summary
This bill aims to accelerate the reunification of children with their family members and eliminate unnecessary time in foster care. It allows the court to review and revise temporary custody orders to place a child with a parent, guardian, or suitable third party, even without a finding that the other parent is unfit or a determination that the child is in need of care and protection. The bill also permits any party to request such a review no sooner than 60 days after the filing of the care and protection petition, and the court must take evidence to determine if a modification of the order is warranted.
