An Act To Amend Title 10 And Title 31 Pertaining To Placement Of Dependent Children.
SB-99


About SB-99

This Bill re-organizes Section 351 to be more reader friendly as to the requirements and exceptions for DSCYF to evaluate homes where children are placed with non-relatives. It also changes the current statute which required DSCYF consent before a child could be placed with a non-relative. This bill would now make the DSCYF position on the placement merely an assessment for consideration by the Family Court. Section (d) makes it clear that the Family Court has the final authority to determine whether or not the placement is appropriate. Finally, this bill modifies the definition of “dependency or dependent child” in 90

  • --BEGINLIST--1--BEGINITEM--(8) and 1009
  • (3) in accordance with the proposed changes to Section 351.
