HB 1121: Child custody

Revising legal custody of children.

Summary

  • Permanent custody orders are added to the list of long-term goals that an agency may select to implement in a dependency proceeding. In addition to adoption, long-term relative care, foster care, guardianship, and independent living as agency options for long-term placement of a dependent child, an agency also has the option of facilitating custody by a non-parental individual through a permanent custody order.
