BILL NUMBER:S1749C
Title of bill
An act to amend the domestic relations law, in relation to the notification of certain relatives prior to the placement of children
Summary of provisions
Section 1 - amends section 72 of the domestic relations law, to include a relative within the third degree of consanguinity, who resides within the state, as suitable for emergency placement of a child, if the court makes a finding of extraordinary circumstances.
Section 2 - Effective date.
Justification
Too often in our current system, children are placed in foster care even though there may be relatives whose homes are available for placement, and where the child can receive a safe and nurturing environment. This bill will help increase the options for placement in a manner that allows families to remain intact while reducing further trauma for children placed in the foster care system.
