Bill Summary
Relative to court petitions for special findings in relation to certain immigrant juveniles. The Judiciary.
AI Summary
This bill amends the existing law to require, rather than allow, the court to make certain special findings related to the status of immigrant juveniles. Specifically, it changes the language in the existing law from "may" to "shall" in regards to the court's determination of whether a juvenile meets the criteria to be considered a "special immigrant juvenile." This change strengthens the legal protections for immigrant juveniles by making these special findings mandatory rather than optional.
