SB0139
Department of child services matters.
Provides that the term "caseworker" for purposes of juvenile law,
including emergency placement of a child, means an employee of the
department of child services who is classified as a family case manager. Expands the definition of "emergency placement" for purposes of the law concerning criminal history record checks to include any out-of-home placement for temporary care and custody of a child at or after the time of initial removal or transfer of custody of the child from the child's parent, guardian, or custodian. Specifies that "emergency placement" does not include any proposed or actual change in location of the child's placement for continuing care and custody after the court has entered an order at the time of or following a detention hearing, unless a court or an agency responsible for the child's care and supervision determines that an immediate change in placement is necessary to protect the child's health or safety. Replaces the issuance of probationary licenses with probationary status periods for: (1) child caring institutions; (2) foster homes; (3) group homes; and (4) child placing agencies. Removes provisions that invalidated a license for these entities when a probationary
license was issued. Requires the person attending a child's birth, when explaining to the birth mother and putative father immediately before or after the birth the legal consequences of executing a paternity affidavit, to specify (and the written information from the department of child services to specify) that: (1) upon execution of a paternity affidavit, the mother and the state may obtain a child support order that requires the provision of health insurance coverage; (2) the rights and responsibilities of the putative father include reasonable parenting time; and (3) the department of child services may file the paternity affidavit with a court. Provides that: (1) a paternity affidavit may not be rescinded more than 60 days after the affidavit is executed unless a court has ordered a genetic test at the request of the man who executed the affidavit; (2) a court may not set aside an affidavit unless a genetic test excludes the man who executed the affidavit as the child's father; and (3) if a man executed a paternity affidavit, a court may not require any further proceedings to establish the child's paternity unless the man who executed the paternity affidavit requests a genetic test.
Requires a court to complete: (1) a factfinding hearing not more than 30 days after a petition is filed alleging that a child is a child in need
of services; (2) a dispositional hearing not more than 45 days after
the date the court finds that a child is a child in need of services; and
(3) a hearing on a petition to terminate a parent-child relationship
not more than 180 days after the petition is filed. Provides that the
department of child services may request that judgment on a petition
alleging a child is a child in need of services be entered not later than 30 days after the request. Requires the case of each child in need of
services under the supervision of the county office of family and children to be reviewed at least once every three months (rather than once every six months). Deletes requirement that a court clerk forward a copy of an adoption petition to the division of family and children. Revises the definition of "substantiated" when used in reference to a child abuse or neglect report. Provides that child welfare caseworkers, investigators, supervisors, and managers must have access to certain information under the automated child protection system regardless of the security requirements for confidentiality. Provides that: (1) child welfare caseworkers and investigators must be allowed access to other cases or investigations that involve a family member of a child or the child whose case is assigned to the caseworker or investigator; and (2) child welfare
supervisors may have access to other cases or investigations that
involve a family member of a child or the child whose case is assigned to a caseworker or investigator who reports to the supervisor or whose case is assigned to the supervisor. Provides that a juvenile court may incorporate a finding or conclusion from a predispositional report as a written finding or conclusion upon the record in the court's dispositional decree for a child in need of services (CHINS) hearing or a delinquency hearing. Requires a report prepared by the state in a dispositional decree to be made available to the child's foster parents under certain circumstances. Removes: (1) powers to suspend certain licenses; and (2) a provision that allows certain parties to request a genetic test. Repeals references to suspension powers. (The introduced version of this bill was prepared by the select committee on reorganization of child services.)
