Bill Summary
An Act relating to emergency custody of children; amending 10A O.S. 2021, Section 1-4-201, which relates to circumstances authorizing taking of a child into custody; requiring the state to notify counsel prior to requesting emergency order in certain circumstance; and providing an effective date.
AI Summary
This bill amends existing Oklahoma law concerning the emergency custody of children, specifically focusing on situations where the state seeks an emergency court order to remove a child from their home. The key provision requires the state, when a parent, legal guardian, or custodian is known to be represented by an attorney, to notify that attorney *before* asking a court for an emergency order to take a child into custody. This notification must provide the attorney with a reasonable chance to be present for the request. The bill also clarifies that any sworn statement, or affidavit, used to support such a request must include a statement confirming whether the child's representative is known to be involved. This change aims to ensure that legal counsel has an opportunity to advocate for the child and their family before an emergency removal order is issued.
