HB 2595: Children removed from parnts

Changing provisions relating to children removed from the custody of parents.

Summary

  • Unless there is reasonable cause to believe that the safety or welfare of a child would be jeopardized, an out-of-home placement may only be made if preventive services have been provided and have failed to resolve the problem. "Preventive services" means family preservation services and other services delivered in the house.
