AI Summary
This bill amends the Probate Code of 1939 to replace the term "children's ombudsman" with "child advocate" in sections related to adoption record access and termination of parental rights proceedings. The bill authorizes the child advocate to inspect closed adoption records and contact individuals for an investigation, and it provides specific procedures for the release of identifying and non-identifying adoption information to adult adoptees, former parents, and adult former siblings. The bill also clarifies the grounds for termination of parental rights and establishes timelines for termination proceedings. The changes in this bill are tied to the enactment of another bill, Senate Bill No. 432.
