AI Summary

This bill establishes the New Jersey Siblings' Bill of Rights. It amends existing law to strengthen the rights of children placed outside of their homes to maintain relationships with their siblings. Key provisions include requirements for the Department of Children and Families to make efforts to place siblings together, facilitate sibling visits and contact, and inform children about changes in sibling placements or permanency planning. The bill also specifies that sibling visits should not be denied as a form of behavioral consequence and that children should be provided with updated contact information for their siblings at least annually, unless not in the best interests of one or more siblings.
