Bill > SB1146

This bill requires the Department of Child Safety (DCS) to file a fact-based report with the court at least fifteen days before any periodic review hearing for dependent children, and to provide a copy of this report to all involved parties. This report must include details about the child's placement, services provided to the child and family, progress on case plan goals, and whether the child remains dependent. The bill also specifies that if the DCS report contains advocacy or recommendations, the court must interpret it in the most favorable light for the parties who did not submit the report. Additionally, the bill makes minor technical changes to references within the existing law regarding court orders and information provided by parents or guardians.
