Bill Summary
For legislation to rescind an order terminating parental rights. The Judiciary.
AI Summary
This bill allows a child whose parental rights were previously terminated to file a motion to vacate the termination order, if certain conditions are met. Specifically, the child must be at least 12 years old, adoption is no longer the permanency plan, and the child has either not been adopted or the adoptive parents' rights have been terminated. The court will grant the motion if it determines that vacating the order is in the child's best interests. The bill applies retroactively, regardless of whether the two-year requirement was met before, on, or after the effective date.
