This bill relates to the termination of parental rights of an incarcerated parent under child in need of assistance proceedings. The bill provides that the court need not terminate the relationship between a parent and child due to the absence of a parent if a court finds that the absence of the parent is due to the parent’s incarceration in a jail or a correctional facility and a relative has legal custody of the child, the child is over years of age and objects to the termination, there is clear and convincing evidence that the termination would be detrimental to the child at the time due to the closeness of the parent-child relationship, the child was removed from the home due to the parent’s incarceration, the incarcerated parent is participating in substance abuse or mental health treatment services and parenting classes offered in the jail or correctional facility, there is clear and convincing evidence that the parent continues to exhibit the ability and willingness to respond to additional services, and there is clear and convincing evidence that the parent exhibits the ability and willingness to participate in planning for the child to return home within months following the parent’s release from the jail or correctional facility.
