SUMMARY AS INTRODUCED:

Abused and neglected children; removal orders.  Changes the standard of proof from preponderance to clear and convincing for a preliminary removal order or continuance of an existing order for an abused or neglected child. The bill creates a rebuttable presumption that the child should be placed with a relative or other interested person, including grandparents, pending a dispositional hearing and requires the court to consider whether such person is in a position to alleviate disruption in the child's life.
