Bill Summary

For legislation relative to special juveniles. The Judiciary.

AI Summary

This bill aims to provide legal protection and support for individuals aged 18 to 21 who have experienced abuse, neglect, or abandonment as children. The key provisions allow these individuals to petition the Probate and Family Court for a determination that they are "dependent on the court" and should not be returned to their previous country of nationality or residence due to the abuse, neglect, or abandonment they suffered. The court can then issue protective orders, refer the individual to social services, and make findings of fact regarding the abuse, neglect, or abandonment. This is intended to help these young adults access legal and social support as they transition to independence.
