2004 SESSION
HB 328 Foster care plans; reasonable efforts to be made to reunite child with parent.
Introduced by: H. Morgan Griffith | all patrons ... notes | add to my profiles
SUMMARY AS INTRODUCED:
Foster care plans; reasonable efforts. Broadens bases for eliminating requirement to make "reasonable efforts" to reunite child with parent to include cases where the parent has been convicted of certain offenses against any child (rather than a "child of the parent" or "a child with whom the parent resided at the time" the offense occurred). Makes the reference to "aggravated circumstances" consistent with the proposed statutory change by defining such circumstances as being certain acts committed against, or allowed to occur against, any child (rather than a "child of the parent" or "a child with whom the parent resided at the time" the offense occurred).
