AI Summary

This bill amends the Surrogate's Court Procedure Act to allow for the appointment of a standby guardian due to "administrative separation." Administrative separation is defined as a parent, legal guardian, legal custodian, or primary caretaker's arrest, detention, incarceration, removal, or deportation in connection with a federal immigration matter, or the receipt of official communication from authorities regarding immigration enforcement that indicates their care and supervision of the child will be interrupted or cannot be provided. The bill outlines the process for a parent, legal guardian, legal custodian, or primary caretaker to judicially appoint or designate a standby guardian whose authority would become effective upon the parent's incapacity, debilitation, administrative separation, or death.
